“We recently purchased the most fabulous pony from Gloria and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We had been on the search for a mother/daughter share for a few months before coming across Gloria’s website. From the very first phone call, Gloria was kind, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. As we are based in Southern England, we had a number of phone calls with Gloria before travelling to Ireland and she took the time to answer all our questions, shared detailed updates and videos, and genuinely cared about matching her ponies with the right home.

Whilst visiting Gloria’s yard, we tried 3 of her gorgeous ponies and we honestly would happily have purchased any one of them, however Rebel just felt perfect for us. Gloria made us feel so welcome, gave us so much time to ride the ponies on the flat and jumping and let our daughter untack and wash them all down. We didn’t feel rushed and asked endless questions. Gloria was incredibly helpful whilst we had the pony vetted and nothing was too much trouble for her.

Rebel arrived safely to England, exactly as described, beautiful, gentle, and full of personality. It’s clear that Rebel was so loved at Gloria’s and was given just the most amazing start in life. He has been described by our trainer as “the most balanced and sensible 4 year old” she has ever met!!

If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, passionate, and committed to excellent horsemanship and customer service, we can’t recommend Gloria enough. Thanks to her, we now have the perfect little partner, and we’re truly grateful!”

“I have been in deeply involved in the equestrian community for over 30 years and I can say, without a doubt, that purchasing a horse from Gloria Nolan was the best decision I have ever made.

Gloria has a unique business model that allows her to nurture each and every horse from conception to sale, and this model, in combination with her exceptional skill and experience as a horse woman, results in high quality horses with winning personalities, an absolutely solid training foundation, and exceptional athletic potential.

Furthermore, Gloria is a joy to work with – approachable, responsive, transparent, and accommodating. I am not sure I will ever again experience the surprise and delight of having "Ardnehue Pumpkins" a gorgeous 4-year-old that combines the self-confidence and level-headedness of an experienced school master with the athleticism and work-ethic of a high-level eventer – even after travelling more than 7,000 km around the world. Thank you, Gloria - you have given my daughters and I a gift that will treasure for a lifetime.”

“I came across Gloria’s website when looking for my next step up and confidence builder in a horse! My mum and I contacted Gloria about (Sumas Wellieboots) as he looked to be the kind genuine horse we had been looking for. At the time of finding Solars advert I was in busy exam season an so was not able to fly to Ireland straight away. However, Gloria kept us updated the whole time, and in late July we flew out to try him!

On arrival to Gloria’s yard we felt so welcomed and fell in love with Solar straight away.Gloria helped us through the whole process of bringing Solar over to England (suggesting vets and transportation) which made the situation much easier!

Solar has been beautifully schooled and looked after making him such a wonderful character, he is everything we were looking for in a horse. In only two month of owning Solar,we have already been to many training clinics and are beginning to compete!
We could not recommend Gloria enough, she had provided us with our dream horse.”

“We purchased Duke (Brave and Blazing Boy) from Gloria in September 2017 and have been delighted with our experience of buying such an outstanding horse from a very genuine and caring producer. Duke was everything Gloria described and more. He is kind, talented, well mannered and confident. He has been beautifully produced and is a joy to own.

He came from Gloria in excellent health and condition and was really well turned out. She helped us through the process sending many photos and videos, and advised with vetting and transport. We have maintained contact and Gloria takes a great interest in Dukes ongoing progress. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a genuine and well produced horse.”

“We bought “Lacken King” from Gloria. It was a really hard decision to make, buying a pony unseen from a foreign country, but Gloria made it so easy for us! King was exactly as described and he ended up being Emma’s best friend and competition companion! They went all the way and qualified for Swedish Championships. They came 4th the first year and 2nd next year. They then moved on and started in the Nordic Championships in Emma’s last year riding ponies.

King is now bringing on another little girl and they have already made their qualification to the Swedish Championships 2018! What a fantastic pony! We highly recommend Gloria Nolan and her ponies, a more honest and accommodating seller is really hard to find!”

“I came across Gloria’s website when looking for a Connemara to event and show, I saw she had Shadow (Gortogher Shadow) advertised. I contacted Gloria about her. From the offset Gloria was easy to deal with. We traveled from Scotland to view her, Gloria was very accommodating and had excellent trial facilities.

Shadow has been produced perfectly by Gloria and has been a great allrounder over the past two years we have had her. We have competed in a variety of show jumping, eventing, hunter trials and showing. I would recommend that anyone looking for a performance Connemara pony should contact Gloria as she produces wonderful ponies.”

“UK Having never traveled to Ireland before to buy a horse it was a nerve
wracking experience. My 15 year old daughter and I took the plunge and
hopped on a plane. We found a genuine, honest family with a true love of
Connemara ponies and bought the most fantastic horse from them.

The travel was easy and the arrangements for transporting the horse home to us were
straightforward. The horses are beautifully cared for, individually known
and schooled well. When we need another horse I will most definitely go to
Gloria again.”

“It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I would like to thank Gloria
sincerely for all her great work done with our Major (Doogary Hope)! When I
met you together with my daughter I suddenly realised that we were in the
right place! I never met a person who is so committed and deeply passionate
in your job. We felt how you consider your ponies as your babies!

Today Major is our new Connemara pony and you have trained him and cared about
him in a wonderful way! He’s amazing and he’s now a new member of our
family thanks to you! We are looking forward to coming back to you for our
next pony.”
