Little Polveir (1977–1999) was a race horse. He won the 1989 Grand National steeplechase ridden by Jimmy Frost, beating West Tip by seven lengths. The horse had previously finished ninth in 1986 and did not finish in 1987 and 1988 (where he fell at one after Valentine's Brook) while owned by Mike Shone, after which he was sold as a 12-year-old for 15,000gns in February 1989.[1]
