I haven't but I have a horse with a Ballinvilla prefix, do you think there could be any sort of connection - or am I being completely stupid!
Oh well even if I am it will bump you!!
Any ideas where she came from in Ireland? Would love to know more about both prefixes.

I would guess that both horses are by the stallion Ballinvella, he was an Irish thoroughbred eventer who died a good few years ago. My gelding (big orange in siggie) is by him too but is just called Oscar...

Sorry not heard of her specifically but there are alot of Ballinvella horses out there - I too have one (see avatar - Rapkyns Ballinvella). He was a prolific producer of showjumping and eventing stock (including Coral Cove and Osh Kosh). His son, Ballinvella Boy, is still at stud I believe.
What is it that you want to know about her?

Mine came over at the end of last year. He was entered into Goresbridge on the 25th November (ironic really as thats my Birthday). Anyway he got brought over by one of our friends and we bought him from him in December.
He is passported as Ballinvilla Flash 2005 (ISH White passport) with unknown breeding and I would love to know more about him. He is a lovely horse with a superb personality. We are just about to start work again, as he has had time off playing with our 2 year old and keeping him company since we lost his mum.
I will try and get some photos on here - but might need some help!!! As you will see he is fairly orange too.
Have you got any more pics of your boy?
