Luke Barton Horses And Ponies

🌟 Happy Retirement, Bright 🌟

At the grand age of 21, you finally deserve to put your feet up and enjoy a very well-earned retirement after an incredible career in showjumping. 🐴❤️

In your early days, you jumped the very highest heights in some of the biggest arenas around the world, jumping Grand Prix after Grand Prix and proving yourself to be an exceptional horse.

Then, somehow, you went on to teach me how to ride a proper horse — taking me on the most incredible journey and helping me qualify for the Dublin Horse Show two years running, earning my Golden Ticket. 🏆✨

Not many people are lucky enough to ride a horse of your calibre, and I feel incredibly privileged that our paths crossed and that I got to call you mine.

Thank you for every jump, every lesson, every unforgettable moment and every bit of trust you have given me. Thank you for being not just my horse, but my best friend and such a very loved member of our family. ❤️

You have given me memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life, and I could never put into words just how much you mean to me.

Happy retirement, Bright. You’ve earned every minute of it. 🥂🐴❤️

Here’s to the next chapter — no more pressure, no more fences, just plenty of grass, sunshine if we’re lucky and being thoroughly spoiled. 💕

⭐️ WHAT A HORSE! ⭐️

5yo, mare, 16.1hh

Directly out of a 1.50 mare

Vivant x heartbreaker

Riding sweetly on the flat, just started her education over poles proving to be brave and genuine.
Has seen XC fences also and took it all in her stride.

Hacks out alone or in company

Unbelievably brave and genuine. Would make an incredible eventer/hunter/jumper

Sometimes you just need a wee snuggle on a Thursday lunchtime to see you through to end of the week 🫩

Beautifully bred ID
Gelding
6yo
17.2hh

Unbelievably quiet and genuine both on the ground and ridden.

Rides sweetly on the flat in all 3 paces. Auto changes and would go out tomorrow and do a lovely dressage test.

Jumping he’s popping around a meter with plenty more to give.
Brave XC and with bright fillers.

Hacks out well alone or in company.

Owned by his breeder, unfortunately cutting back.
He’s done plenty of RC and shown lightly.

I’ve used him the past few days for my novice partner to hack and he’s looked after him beautifully and put up with him bobbling about trying to master his rising trot.

Full set if clean X-rays
Does make a very slight noise in canter, if fit there’s no noise.

William is a Roles Royce of rides!
Knows his job inside out!!!

Rides beautifully on the flat, jumps round a course of fences with his eyes closed. Not at all the spooky type.
Jumps both rustic and coloured fences.

Mainly been shown and done amble rides.

Moves beautifully

Would go out in the morning and win a dressage test.

A true allrounder!

Would suit most riders. Picks up/drops down to the riders ability.

Been placed every year in Dublin since a 4yo
Usually wins or comes second showing
The ride judges always have beautiful comments

Hacks both alone or in company

Good to bath, clip, shoe, load and travel.

Dolly is super sweet and wise beyond her years!
Calm, easy to work around, a real sweet type with plenty to like.

Dolly rides nicely on the flat and is established in all 3 paces. She does simple changes and has basic lateral work.

Jumping she’s brave and fun. Jumped up to around 1.10 and has plenty more to give.

Would be an ideal hunter/allrounder/RC horse.

Hacks both alone or in company.

Ridden by petite girl currently with no issues.

Good to bath, clip, shoe, load and travel.
