Gilhooley Equestrian is a family-operated business dedicated to bringing integrity, professionalism, and transparency to the pony sales experience. Based in California, we specialize in the acquisition, training, showing, and resale of elite ponies for competitive youth riders. Every pony we represent is carefully selected for temperament, talent, and potential, then developed under the guidance of top trainers and a nationally recognized rider to ensure performance and reliability. What sets us apart is our commitment to honesty and documentation—each pony is independently vetted, professionally trained, and show-proven, giving buyers complete confidence in their investment. Rooted in a love for horses and a passion for elevating the standard of pony sales, Gilhooley Equestrian blends world-class expertise with family-driven values to help riders and trainers find their perfect partner in and out of the ring.
Our acquisition process begins with careful selection and professional evaluation. We source ponies from trusted breeders and private owners, prioritizing soundness, temperament, and athletic potential. Each pony undergoes a thorough veterinary pre-purchase exam and professional assessment to ensure quality, health, and long-term value before joining our program.
Every pony in our program receives individualized, hands-on training from elite professionals and a nationally recognized youth rider. Our focus is on developing confidence, consistency, and performance through expert flatwork, jumping, and show exposure. By blending proven techniques with thoughtful care, we bring out the best in every pony—preparing them for success at any level.
We take pride in offering a transparent, worry-free buying experience built on trust and documentation. Each pony is sold with a complete package of veterinary reports, training summaries, and verified show results. Our goal is simple: to help riders and trainers purchase with total confidence, knowing their new partner has been ethically represented, professionally trained, and truly prepared for the show ring.
Gilhooley Equestrian LLC is a woman-owned small business committed to advancing sustainability in the equestrian industry. We are implementing measurable green-business practices — energy efficiency, electric vehicle adoption, recycling, and digital workflows — as part of our goal to achieve certification through the California Green Business Network. We view sustainability as both a business responsibility and an opportunity to model environmental leadership for the next generation of riders.
