About us
J.Naughton Equine Ltd supplies, produces and competes Irish ponies and horses, suited for riders of all levels.
Our story goes back three generations of horsemanship.
The late Vincent Finn was a respected trainer and producer, known for his success in gymkhanas and lifelong dedication of producing horses. His daughter, the late Riona Finn, carried this tradition forward as a renowned horsewoman who was a HSI Level 2 coach, with a gifted eye for selecting and producing top ponies at many aspects. Riona also taught an equine PLC course in Galway Community College with many students who speak highly of the course.
Today, the legacy continues through J Naughton, son of Riona and grandson of Vincent, who has competed at the top level of showjumping.
Through J Naughton Equine Ltd, he remains committed to producing and supplying quality ponies and horses, always searching for the next star while upholding the family’s tradition of skill and well known horsemanship.
About our stock
At J.Naughton Equine, there is always a wide variety of Irish ponies & horses. Available that suit all disciplines in the equestrian sphere.
We carefully source our ponies & horses from trusted breeders across Ireland, many of whom we have worked with for generations. Each pony is selected for its temperament, type, and athleticism, ensuring the highest standards and a tradition of excellence.
All of our horses begin their education on the farm. They are carefully produced to be versatile all around animals, with confident and balanced attitudes as well as the experience of many different equestrian disciplines. All generations truly believe that to get a great horse- they need to be exposed to as many situations as possible at this young age so nothing phases them in the future.
Once our horses have been broke, They get a wide range of work to determine which discipline they will excel in such as; Foxhunting with the world renowned Galway blazers, Working hunter competitions, Showjumping & Cross country as well as hacking down busy roadways and through the countryside's open fields, beach rides and flatwork schooling.
Coming from a working farm, our ponies are well used to heavy farm machienery and livestock.
We believe this wide range of work builds the animals courage and boldness over obstacles, getting accustomed to varied terrains while maintaining a steady and reliable attitude.
