This is Felix, the Gentle Connemara gelding Soul with a Champion’s Heart
When Felix was born on a breezy spring morning in Connemara, the first thing anyone noticed was his eyes — deep, soft, and curious, as if he was already asking, “What’s next?”
From the start, he had a way of making people smile. He was the foal who followed the stable hand to the gate just to be near them, the one who stood still so children could stroke his nose, the one who always seemed to understand without being told.
Fast forward four years, and that kind, intelligent foal has grown into a 150cm Connemara gelding with both world-class breeding (Glencarrig Knight x Lissroe Fiona by Glencarrig Prince) and a temperament that’s pure gold.
Why Everyone Falls in Love with Felix
Felix isn’t just a horse — he’s the kind of partner you dream of producing.
-
Movement: Three balanced, uphill paces with a soft rhythm that makes him a joy to ride and a picture to watch.
-
Jumping: Bold, scopey, and already confidently popping both show jumps and XC fences — he loves a challenge and thrives in open space.
-
Temperament: Quiet, kind, and eager to please, with a bravery and steadiness beyond his years.
He’s equally happy hacking alone on a crisp morning, splashing through a river, or flying over a brush fence in the sunshine.
Out & About
Felix travels like a pro in both 3.5t and 7.5t lorries. He schools politely on the flat, takes new environments in stride, and approaches the world with a mix of curiosity and calm.
On the yard, he’s the horse everyone stops to say hello to — not because he demands attention, but because he’s quietly magnetic. You’ll catch yourself staying just a little longer at the stable door, scratching his neck and telling him about your day.
For the Right Rider…
Felix has all the makings of a top competition pony, but he would be equally happy being someone’s once-in-a-lifetime all-rounder. He’s straightforward enough for a confident amateur to bring on, but talented enough to go far in the right hands.
This is a pony you’ll produce, compete, and — years later — still talk about with a smile.
