CLIFDEN SHOW WEEK
By Tearna Goldston
The Goldston family‟s move to live in the UK for a few years has given me a wonderful
opportunity to not only visit UK Connemara
studs and ponies, but also to attend some of
the Connemara Pony shows and events. In August this year, my daughter Isobel and I
made the trek by car and ferry to Clifden in
Ireland for the Connemara festival week including Clifden Show, a very exciting time
for me as although I had visited Clifden
previously, I had yet to attend the show.
Travelling on Sunday ensured we were in
Clifden on time for the stud tour of southern
Connemara studs on Monday. This included quite a variety, from breeders with only one or two mares, to those with stallions and
stables for show preparation and performance training. I was thoroughly impressed with
the bus driver who managed to negotiate the bus along little lanes that would have had me concerned in a small car, but the wonderful Connemara scenery added to the enjoyment of
visiting with owners who are so proud of their ponies.
On Tuesday I attended the talk given by the HWSD research group. Although none of my
ponies have been affected by this disease, I had sent blood samples of my mares to UC
Davis during the research phase of developing a test,
believing it is of the utmost importance to our truly special breed. Dr Fino from UC Davis is a particularly
gifted and knowledgeable speaker, and although I have
kept up with information regarding the research through the research group‟s website, I found her presentation
very interesting and educational. Isobel also purchased a
plasticised cross-section of an affected foal‟s hoof, which I must bring along to Connemara get-togethers when we
return to Australia. With the test now available and
affected foals easily avoided, hopefully this cross-section
will be the only affected example most owners and breeders will see. I also bumped into fellow Aussie Karen
Holloway there.
On the Tuesday evening I attended the International
Reception. There I met fellow Connemara Pony book
author Libby Petch for the first time, which was such a
special moment for me. I also met a number of people
from around the world that I have only conversed with through email, Facebook or phone conversation
previously.

Wednesday saw the Green Hunter and Family Working Hunter competitions at the
showground, and then the Loose Jumping Final for three year old ponies. The Loose
Jumping Competition was judged by Mr Hunter Doughty of Wagga Wagga and was very
interesting to watch, with most of the young ponies showing exceptional style over a fence. I particularly liked a filly named Corha‟s Carly (Castleside Carrig x Lady Hill) who had
wonderful conformation and movement. Isobel‟s favourite was the colt Carnakilly Finn
(Dexter Leam Pondi x Castleside Killiney) who should be a performance star with that pedigree.
The Clifden Show led classes were held on Thursday. Isobel and I arrived early to secure a
good seat ringside, and I hardly moved for the entire day. What a feast for the eyes for any Connemara Pony enthusiast! I would have found many of the classes difficult to judge, with
very little between the place-getters. I did miss the foal and ridden show classes in Ring 2,
being glued to my seat, but having Isobel with me was wonderful as she zipped across and took quite a few photos for me.
Friday was the Connemara Performance Show with the Working Hunter, High Performance and Puissance classes, plus a ride and drive class that was highly entertaining for all the
spectators. We were again glued to our seats, only really rising to ensure we could see as
much as possible during the Hunter and High Performance classes, the course using the
entire two rings plus the river below the showgrounds. The puissance was a treat to watch, with two ponies clearing the final height of 160cm.
Lastly, Isobel and I attended the first day of the Connemara Sale, which was interesting and had some exciting moments. We even had a bid on one pony, but my husband must
have breathed a sigh of relief that no ponies came home in our pockets! It was a truly
wonderful week and I am looking forward very much to next year‟s show! Please visit the Clairvale Stud Facebook page for more photos:

STERNBERGS LENARO
On the 5th of October, our colt
„Sternbergs Lenaro‟ was presented for classification in Germany. Lenaro passed
his inspection with flying colours and was
placed into the Class 1 studbook in Germany. After the inspection, Lenaro
travelled to North Germany to the SBS
labs where he underwent testing to
ensure he was a suitable candidate for frozen semen. After passing all his tests,
Lenaro was transported to the quarantine
station in Haren, Germany until the 14th November where he then flew out from
Amsterdam on his way to Sydney. After 2
weeks, we had the pleasure of meeting our boy for the very first time.
We purchased Lenaro as a weanling from
Sternbergs Connemaras and have followed his progress right through. We
were drawn to Lenaro as a foal as we
really like his dam, Elite mare, Lena and the combination with Elite stallion, El
Larry, we thought would produce an
outstanding pony.
Today (30/11/14) we had the pleasure of
meeting Lenaro for the first time. He is
everything we could‟ve hoped for. Lenaro
is a very athletic colt with a sweet pony head and kind eye which matches his
lovely temperament. We are so thrilled
with him.
Lenaro is a homozygous bay and is
negative for HWSD. We can‟t wait to see
what the future holds for Sternbergs Lenaro. We hope to give him every
opportunity to prove his performance
ability and display his wonderful temperament and we look forward to the
day where we can welcome the first crop
of Lenaro foals here at Peppertree.

QUEENSLAND CAG
The Connemara Action Group of QLD has
been revived and after discussions and
meetings with some members, new and
old, Nicole Walker and Sharon Seymour
decided to attend the inaugural TEC Horse
Expo in Toowoomba on the 26 and 27th of
September 2014. Nicole flew down from
Mackay to Brisbane on Friday to drive
Glenormiston Fintra up to Toowoomba
ready for the weekend. It was a great
success! The display generated much
interest and indicated that there were
many people interested in purchasing
ponies. Its success was such that plans
are underway for another Expo next year.
Many people approached our stand who
were current and past Connemara pony
owners including two gentleman from
Connemara and Roscommon who had
grown up riding Connemara ponies and
were very excited to see that they were
doing well in Australia. Contacts were
made, ideas suggested, and phone
numbers taken for information on
upcoming events.
On the 25th October, the Farmcraft Native
Pony Show was held at the Boonah
Showgrounds. The show was partly run by
the Action Group and sponsored by the
CPBSA. This was very well attended by
the Connemara Community with more
than 14 Connemaras in attendance.
Janene Leslie of Sugargum Stud, NSW
judged the Connemara Ring with in hand
and ridden classes, while Dr Kate Storey-
Whyte of Blandings Stud, Victoria, judged
the Mountain and Moorland Ring, which
also incorporated the Working Hunter
Pony classes and Harness.
It was a great family day with Stephen
Munn of Mungala Stud as ringmaster, with
competitors, Pauline and Stephanie Munn,
and other family members, The Walker
family of Arden Stud, Lynda and Paul
Robinson, Kelly, Sam and Ellie Stenzel of
Costalota Show Horses, Lyndie and
Bernie Panitz of Greenacres Stud, Anita
Wenham, Sharon Seymour and Ron
McRae of Roscommon Stud acting as
Stewards, and various other pony owners
of the Connemara Qld community .It was
wonderful to see so many ponies
presented both in hand and under saddle,
with many of them exhibited by junior
riders. Two fancy dress classes were also
held to cater for everyone and ensure all
went home with lots of ribbons and good
memories. Our judges were fantastic and
very knowledgeable under sub-tropical
conditions. Glenormiston Tipper O‟Toole
was awarded Supreme Champion
Connemara, both led and ridden, and was
presented with garlands by Dave
Nettleton, of Tylani Stud, on behalf of the
CPBSA.
Two weeks later we went out past Boonah
to attend a stud tour at Lyndie and Bernie
Panitz‟s Greenacres Stud at Rathdowney.
Though temperatures were over 40deg,
Nicole and her children, Sharon, Ron,
Trish Macginnis and Indi and Helen
Jorgensen, were kept cool under
sprinklers and a wonderful old barn while
Lyndie brought her lovely ponies by
Glenormiston Tipper O‟Toole, into the
stables for us to see. We had an enjoyable
harness display by the young mare,
Greenacres Valentine and a very
informative discussion by Lyndie on the
breeding and performance plans for her
stud. It was rewarding to listen to such a
thoughtful and well considered stud plan
and to view the youngstock produced by
Greenacres. Afterwards we adjourned to
the Rathdowney Pub for lunch and a
meeting to discus what we wanted to plan
for next year. As well as meeting up for
the usual shows, a possible camp over
and trail ride was planned along with
further opportunities to reward
performances and promote the
Connemara Pony in Qld were discussed.
We are looking forward to 2015 and the
opportunities it will provide.

Premature Foals to Benefit from Breeder Survey
Australian breeders are being invited to help develop new management strategies for foals
born prematurely by responding to a current survey into foaling experiences. Researchers
particularly want to hear about foals that were born prematurely or in a dysmature (under-
developed) condition. The aim is to improve understanding of how such foals can be
managed during their early years to prevent later development issues. Anyone responding
to the survey can ask to be kept informed of future findings.
The Survey into Foal Development is being run by Jane Clothier, a postgraduate student
at CSIRO and the University of New England. Jane, who has been an equine body worker
for ten years in England and Australia, explains that little is understood about managing
premature foals for the long term.
“While a lot is understood about managing the neo-natal emergency that often
accompanies a premature birth, less is known about the development problems that can
follow. I am interested in hearing about foaling issues, and will be looking for case studies
to assess in more detail. By understanding development issues more, I hope to contribute
to management strategies to assist the young horse, whether relating to training,
nutritional or therapeutic measures. However, I can only do it with the help of the people
doing the hard work – the breeders.”
This online survey is open to anyone who has bred a foal in the past three years. It
includes questions on service and birth dates, pregnancy, foaling and post-foaling issues,
veterinary treatment and the foal‟s growth and development. It will take ten to fifteen
minutes to complete for a single foal, or 20 to 30 minutes for three foals. All responses will
be treated in confidence.
To take part in the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/foals

2014 PERTH ROYAL SHOW
By Emily Sheridan
The Royal Agricultural Society of Western
Australia really embraced the Chinese
“Year Of The Horse” at this year‟s Perth Royal Show. Classes were expanded
across all the breed sections to include
both 3 & Under and 4 & Over classes and a Supreme Champion was awarded for every
breed. This meant that youngsters were
encouraged to attend and it was wonderful
to see so many first time ponies and owners competing. A “Parade of
Champions” was held on the final day of
the Show to which all supreme breed exhibits were invited.
The Connemaras and Connemara Part-Breds were judged by a Welsh Cob breeder
from Queensland, Mr John Riley, of
Cwmkaren Stud. In the Connemara
classes only mares, fillies and geldings attended. Powderbark Stud's Powderbark
Bridget and her handler, Sharla Norman,
won the Best Presented sash after an extensive workout similar to a
Showmanship class. Powderbark Stud's
3yo filly, Glenormiston Stormcloud,
handled by Kym Shingleton, won the Filly 3 & Under class. The full sisters, Nichole
Webb‟s 7yo Oakleigh Zara and Freya
D‟Espeissis‟ 13yo Anulka Rosie O‟Roc, were 1st and 2nd respectively in the Mare 4 &
Over class, with Powderbark Stud's 5yo
Powderbark Bridget 3rd and Powderbark Stud's 4yo Powderbark Anibel, handled by
Emily Sheridan, 4th. Oakleigh Zara was
sashed Champion Connemara Filly or Mare
with Glenormiston Stormcloud Reserve Champion. Oakleigh Zara was then
awarded Supreme Connemara Exhibit.
The Connemara Gelding Any Age was won by Shirley Kennedy‟s 5yo Powderbark
Cavanagh, handled by Emily Sheridan, and
was then sashed Champion Connemara Gelding.
Unfortunately, the Combined
APSB/Connemara Ridden classes were not expanded this year. These classes
combine Australian, Highland, Shetland
and Connemara Ponies with two ridden classes available, one for ridden Filly/Mare
and one for ridden Colt/Stallion/Gelding.
This ridden section is one of the hardest classes to not only compete in but also to
judge. Australian ponies tend to dominate
these classes but this is certainly not a
reflection on the quality of the ridden
Connemara exhibits who have competed over the years. Freya D‟Espeissis, with her
mare Anulka Rosie O‟Roc, flew the flag for
the ridden Connemaras this year and were awarded 3rd in the Ridden Filly/Mare class,
a great achievement.
The Connemara Part-Bred classes this year followed the Pure-Bred schedule in that
Geldings were not eligible to compete for
the Supreme Champion award. As to be expected, there were no entries in the Colt
or Stallion classes, so by default, the
Champion Filly or Mare winner became the Supreme winner. The judge once again
gave a Showmanship workout for Best
Presented class and after a bit of shuffling
down the line because of some handling indiscretions, the Best Presented sash was
awarded to Oakleigh Dylan, handled by his
owner, Nichole Webb. The Filly 3 & Under class was won by Powderbark Stud's 2yo
Powderbark Dior, handled by Emily
Sheridan. The Mare 4 & Over class was
won by Kaitlyn Hollands‟ 8yo Powderbark McWhinney, with Jan Rockman's 4yo Itsa
Shamrock Sensation, handled by Che
Hetherington, placing 2nd. Champion Connemara Part-Bred Filly or Mare, and
hence, Supreme Champion Connemara
Part-Bred, went to Powderbark McWhinney. This is the second time
Powderbark McWhinney has taken out the
Supreme; she won it previously as a
yearling in 2007. The Connemara Part-Bred Gelding Any Age was won by Nichole
Webb‟s 8yo Oakleigh Dylan, with 2nd place
going to Emma-Lee Meyer‟s 6yo Powderbark Morse and 3rd to Marion
Ramsey‟s 3yo Powderbark Derry.
Champion Connemara Part-Bred Gelding was Oakleigh Dylan. Oakleigh Dylan
ridden by his owner, Nichole Webb, were
also 1st in the Ridden Part-Bred
Connemara class and Powderbark Morse ridden by his owner, Emma-Lee Meyer,
were 2nd. During the Grand Parade,
Powderbark Morse and Emma-Lee Meyer were also sashed “Best Presented of the
Grand Parade” by the Head Ringmaster,
out of all the horse, cattle, showjumping and hack exhibits. This was an amazing
result, with Emma-Lee being interviewed
9
and shown on the big screens alongside
Morse. We understand that this was a
combined result of trawling op shops for Emma-Lee's elegant outfit and the top
show presentation of Morse by Sharla
Norman.
There were big wins for the Connemaras
who competed later in the week in the Colour classes too, which are judged as
open classes, not breed classes. This year,
the Colour classes were judged by Mr
Dennis Strachan from Victoria, and although he is probably better known as a
cattle assessor and judge in Agricultural
circles, he was very well regarded by competitors from all the Colour breeds he
judged. Connemaras were represented in
the colour classes by Jan Rockman's Cremello Part-Bred mare, Itsa Shamrock
Sensation, Powderbark Stud's Buckskin
Pure-Bred stallion, Glenormiston Dundrum,
and his daughter, Buckskin Part-Bred filly Powderbark Dior. Glenormiston Dundrum
did not appear in Connemara classes this
year, having been Supreme Connemara last year, but Itsa Shamrock Sensation and
Powderbark Dior had returned for another
big day at the show. Jan Rockman‟s 4yo
Part-Bred mare, Itsa Shamrock Sensation, handled by Che Hetherington, won the
Cremello/Perlino Mare 4 & Over class and
was then sashed Champion Cremello/Perlino Filly or Mare.
Glenormiston Dundrum with his handler,
Emily Sheridan, was awarded the highly competitive Best Presented Buckskin/Dun
sash (along with sponsored prize money),
was 1st in the Buckskin/Dun Stallion 4 &
Over class and was then sashed Champion Buckskin/Dun Colt or Stallion. Powderbark
Dior, handled by Carlisle Sheridan, was
2nd in her Filly 3 & Under class to the eventual Champion Filly/Mare winner.
Glenormiston Dundrum was awarded
Supreme Buckskin/Dun exhibit. In the Buckskin Dilutant class, Powderbark Dior
was 2nd with Glenormiston Dundrum 3rd.
Glenormiston Dundrum and Emily then
returned in the afternoon under saddle, where he was 2nd in the ridden
Buckskin/Dun Colt/Stallion/Gelding class.
Demonstrating that success for the
Connemaras wasn‟t limited to the Led or
Ridden classes, 12yo Pure-Bred Connemara mare, Whitecrofts Blathine,
competed in the Carriage Driving
competition with her owner and breeder,
Sandra Goodman. The most strongly
contested event, and the most prestigious in the Perth Royal Show Harness program,
is the Concours d‟Elegance. This year
Whitecrofts Blathine and her driving team were the winners! Blathine also gained a
number of wins and places in other
harness classes and had a very successful show.
In honour of the Chinese “Year Of The
Horse” the RAS of WA held a special “Parade Of Champions” event on the last
afternoon of the show to which the winners
of each Supreme Breed Exhibit were invited. There were two aims to running
this event. The first was to have a
Supreme of Supreme event with a number of the breed judges coming together to
choose the “Best In Show”. The second,
more interesting, aim was to demonstrate
and promote each breed to the general public. The event was on the main arena,
shown on the big screen, with expert
commentary. The workout for each pony was quite long so that the commentator
had time to talk about each breed in detail,
providing information about the
characteristics of the horse or pony, the country of origin, what the horse/pony was
traditionally bred for, and the equestrian
disciplines and market it has in Australia. Glenormiston Dundrum represented the
Buckskin/Dun dilution as Supreme
Buckskin/Dun exhibit and the commentary was about his colour, the genetics
responsible and the visible characteristics.
Unfortunately the opportunity to showcase
the Pure-Bred and Part-Bred Connemara breeds was lost because, disappointingly,
neither the Supreme Connemara winner
nor the Supreme Connemara Part-Bred winner attended this "One-Off" Year of the
Horse event. The Supreme of Supreme
could have been awarded to any of the beautiful entrants, and after lengthy
deliberation by the judges it was taken out
by a superb Thoroughbred mare.
Overall it was a happy and successful Perth
Royal Show for Connemara and Part-Bred
Connemara breeders and owners. We hope that the RAS considers that the
support for the extra classes for young
ponies this year will ensure that these age classes will be offered again in future years

EQUITANA REPORT
Wednesday – After a few short
months of hurried planning Equitana
was finally here. I travelled up from
South West Victoria to the Melbourne
Showgrounds meeting up with my
husband, Peter (coming from
Shepparton), and Vicki and Bob, who
had travelled from South Australia.
Luckily Annette Condie had Kate
Storey-Whyte to drive for her due to
her arm operation. We set to work
setting up the stall and getting the
stable ready for the pony‟s arrival
early the next morning. Sponsors
had provided some lovely banners
and we also had cards, stickers,
business cards, brochures and a
variety of books, both from Ireland
and CPBSA published. There was a
table specifically for the Performance
Register with a poster of the Horse
Deals article and signup sheets. This
came in handy with only 7 copies left
at the end of the 4 days. Vicki had
brought a computer to show various
videos of the Connemara Pony.
Annabel Bowcher had created a
fantastic booklet to be handed out to
visitors; it contained information on
the Connemara Pony as well as
sponsor advertising and a sales list.
After a few hours hard work we
headed back to our respective
accommodation for an early night
before an early morning the next
day.
Thursday – Pete and I arrived at
the Breeder‟s Village at 7.15 to find
the day‟s pony, Boonahburra Royal
Mascot, already ensconced in her
stable and enjoying the view of the
two stallions in the stables opposite.
The demo that day was at 3.15pm
and was an individual
demonstration. It began with Millie‟s
(Boonahburra Royal Mascot) current
rider, Shakaya McCrae-Wilson
putting Millie through her paces and
going over a jump a couple of times.
After that Millie‟s original
rider/owner, who had also broken
her in 10 years ago, Emily Brown,
jumped on to double dink around the
arena. The two girls then unsaddled
her and Shakaya did some tricks on
her back. Emily next showed some
of Millie‟s bareback ridden training,
such as side passing. When Millie
returned to her stable she had quite
a few visitors, as did the stall. She
continuously ran up to anyone who
visited hoping she would be fed the
hay cubes she had been getting in
the morning. Definitely showing how
a Connemara‟s stomach is the most
important thing to them. We didn‟t
leave the village until 7.30 pm,
making sure the day‟s pony got
away safely and the next day‟s pony
was comfortably in the stable for the
night.
Friday – Glenormiston Rosanna, a
beautiful brown mare, was our pony
for this day. She had come all the
way from South Australia the day
before with her owner, Gill Beaton,
and rider Courtney O‟Leary along
with a support team. Rosanna was
obviously well used to being stabled
as she spent a fair amount of time
having a snooze on the stable floor.
Visitors would go to walk past as
they thought the stable was empty
until they looked down. Courtney
and Rosanna took part in the Show
Horse demonstration along with an
Arabian horse and a Clydesdale at
2.30pm. Rosanna and Courtney
13
compete regularly in Open Horse
Shows and their experience was
obvious. They exhibited what a Show
Hunter should look like and be
presented as. Rosanna also collected
a fan club after her presentation and
they followed her back to her stable
resulting in even more queries about
the Connemara Pony.
Saturday – Saturday‟s pony was a
lovely little buckskin mare called
Kahean Leilani. Leilani‟s support
team had come prepared with a
container full of carrots for visitors to
feed her. Leilani was tied up with the
stable door left open, very soon a
steady stream of children lined up to
give her the treats. Her
demonstration was another
individual one and Chelsea (her
owner and rider) had trained her to
do a number of activities that
showed the unflappable nature of the
Connemara Pony. These included
walking over tarps, ridden bareback
while her rider carried an umbrella
which would drop unexpectedly from
her hand, a large beachball bouncing
on her body and her rider sliding off
and leapfrogging onto her back, all
the time displaying her steadiness
and trainability. This calm nature led
to Leilani being asked to be used as
a demonstration pony in another
pavilion for a dentistry display.
Sunday – In her usual impeccable
condition, Glenormiston Ciara arrived
on the Saturday evening to be our
display pony for the last day of
Equitana on the Sunday. Ciara was
to be part of a new event at
Equitana, „Equitana Horse of the
Year‟. This was run as a „best in
show‟ working on one in-hand
section with over 20 entries (all from
the Breed Village). With Ciara‟s past
including extensive showing classes
she was the perfect candidate to
represent the Connemara Pony. It
was held on the outdoor arena at
lunchtime so attracted quite an
audience. Kate Duff did a fantastic
job leading Ciara around the rather
large arena in very warm conditions,
they had to circle it 8 times and poor
Kate had bleeding blisters on her
heels by the end of it. Both Kate and
Ciara showed what stalwarts they
were under quite trying conditions.
The 20 breeds showcased were
finalised to just 5 with a recently
imported Friesian stallion winning
the class. Ciara‟s next event took
place in the afternoon, one of the
final demonstrations of Equitana.
This was on jumping types and Ciara
was joined by a Waler and a
Thoroughbred. There were no actual
jumps in this Demonstration, the
announcer just discussed each breed
and how they made good jumping
types as well as their history
involving jumping. Ingrid Rowe was
commandeered to answer the
questions put by the commentator
and did a very commendable job.
Equitana finished not long after and
all those at our stall started the job
of packing up. We had to wait for the
Breed Village officials to let us know
when the pony could be moved as
they had to wait for all members of
the public to leave the showgrounds.
Finally it was all over and after a
satisfying, fun-filled four days we
headed home, looking forward to
doing it all over again in 2 years‟
time.
14
The ponies that attended had been
chosen under a variety of criteria,
this included being out and about,
experience in being stabled for long
periods of time and a good example
of the breed in temperament,
personality, conformation and type.
All ponies showed what makes a
Connemara pony the best pony for
all of the family. Jumping, showing,
tricks and a laid back attitude, ready
to do anything for food.
These ponies of course couldn‟t get
there by themselves and I would like
to thank their owners, riders and
support teams for the great job they
did in promoting the breed to the
Equitana public. For Boonahburra
Royal Mascot – Shelley McCrae,
Shakaya McCrae and Emily Brown.
For Glenormiston Rosanna – Gill
Beaton, Courtney and Jodee O‟Leary.
For Kahean Leilani – Chelsea,
Michelle and Leigh Winter and Chris
Nault. For Glenormiston Ciara –
Annette and Henry Condie and Kate
Duff (along with Zavier, Amelia and
Emmett Duff).
Over the whole four days we had a
large number of visitors. These
visitors had a variety of queries –
children just wanting to look at the
pictures and meet the ponies, past
owners of Connemara ponies,
present owners of Connemara
ponies, those wanting to register
ponies and others wanting to find
out who their pony might be, adults
and children interested in purchasing
ponies to ride and even a breeder of
one of the original Connemara Pony
studs, Candlebark.
There were a large number of
volunteers who made the whole
event possible. I would like to thank
Annette Condie, Amber Smeenk,
Caitlin Bourchier and her mother,
and my daughter, Melanie Bouwman
for coming in and helping over the 4
days. Committee members Ingrid
Rowe, Gill Beaton and Sue Dodds
also were there to help on certain
days. These volunteers all did a
fantastic job of selling „our pony‟ to
the public.
For our two individual sessions we
needed to provide our own
announcers. On the Thursday we
had Diane Bennit and on the
Saturday it was Jackie Mellet of Dun
Manus Stud. Both of these women
did an excellent job in presenting to
the audiences in the John Deere
Pavilion. Thank you so much.
I especially would like to thank my
husband, Peter Brown, who was
there along with me every day,
constantly lending a hand wherever
needed to whoever needed it.
Another who was there every day
without fail and to whom I owe a
great deal of thanks is Vicki Plummer
(and Bob) without whose support
this wouldn‟t have happened.
Hopefully in two years‟ time we can
all do it again as I think this was one
of the most fantastic promotional
tools you could ask for.
I would like to thank all sponsors for
giving us the financial ability to hold
this event.

VICTORIAN PERFORMANCE NEWS
This year there has been a regular
representation of Connemara ponies
competing at the Victorian agricultural
shows. At Ballarat, Strickland Park Rebel
completed a very successful day with
successes in the Mountain and Moorland
classes finishing up Reserve Led and
Ridden Champion in the gelding classes.
Geelong no longer has Connemara classes
but there is hope that there may be
Mountain and Moorland classes reinstated
if there is sufficient support.
At the APSB Stud Show held at Werribee
Park in November, there were some new
faces in the ring. The Champion gelding
was by Glenormiston Thady out of
Capparis Enya. Enya is now owned by
Kahean stud. The Reserve Champion was
Strickland Park Rebel. In the mare class,
Helen Wood‟s mare by Castle Baron was
first and Champion with Sharyn
Callendar‟s consistent mare Kahean Snow
Blossom second and reserve.
In the stallion class, Sharyn‟s stallion
Gracefield Park Mr. Ed was placed first
and Champion. He was awarded Supreme
Connemara exhibit for the day.
Camperdown was the venue in early
December for the annual Camperdown 3-
Day Event. Travelling from S.A. were John
and Maggie Dawkins supporting their
daughter, Alice who was competing along
with 260 other competitors. Camperdown
is known for its challenging course and
hospitality.
The next events on the performance
calendar are the Melbourne Summer Royal
in January at Werribee Park and the
Barastoc Horse Show in February.

VICTORIAN APSB STUD SHOW
The new venue was fantastic and a very well-run show was an enjoyable
experience.
Connemara numbers were low, only 5
ponies, but they were all great examples
of our lovely ponies and were all well presented. I think that all of the
Connemara enthusiasts were busy flying
the flag at Equitana! It was also nice to
see some new faces and new ponies out and about.

MICKY
We were fortunate enough to purchase
the lovely Glenormiston Kinsale from Sue
Clarke in 2012 and she was bred to
Frederiksminde Hazy Cavalier. The two
gave the most beautiful filly – Costalota
Keepsake, (Suzy) who we could not be
happier with. We had seen both Hazy
Cavalier, and Gneevebrack Storm on one
of our visits to Sue‟s and were taken by
them both.
It was a long standing wish to have a foal
by the handsome Gneevebrack Storm,
and after trying unsuccessfully to AI
Shady (Noweddie Natalie) we decided that
Storm would be Kinsale‟s next mate.
Opting for a natural serving, meant taking
the 12 hour trip down, to Lake Cargelligo
to Janene Leslie‟s place with our precious
cargo.
The syndicate of Gneevebrack Storm has
been truly wonderful in helping us fulfil
another one of my dreams – having a
Storm baby, and after what seemed to be
the longest wait our beautiful colt arrived.
Costalota Mickey Drippin, or Mickey for
short is everything we have wished for.
Correct, friendly, quiet and handsome,
and boy what bone has this baby got.
I would like to thank Janene Leslie for
looking after Glenormiston Kinsale like she
was one of her own, and for all the other
people in the Storm syndicate who have
helped us fulfil another one of our dreams.

A WEDDING STORY
Lyndie Panitz
It certainly added something even more
special to our wedding day to have two of
my wonderful connemara ponies
Glenormiston Tipper O‟Toole and
Glenormiston Aedin in harness
transporting the wedding party. Certainly
the guest‟s photos tell the story. They
were really the stars of the show.
The sulky had been carefully restored by
my now husband Bernie. It has been in
his family since its original purchase in
1911, and relegated to the shed upon
purchase of a motor car in 1925. Bernie‟s
sister Geralyn had a wish since childhood
of using the sulky at her wedding
sometime in the future. Although that
was not to eventuate she was in the sulky
on the day wearing an original riding habit
from the era that had belonged to a family
member at the time. The thrill of the
experience is evidenced in the huge grin
on her face. The page boy, my nephew
Luke, had his first ride in the sulky on the
day!! The drawback of a sulky is in the
passenger numbers, but Bernie‟s bestman
(his father Brian) and groomsman (his son
Aidan) had already been in the sulky in
the past so were waiting at the marquee
for the grooms arrival.
The logistics of having the two horses
transport the wedding party (harnessing
up and driving ourselves), as well as doing
the catering and the wedding party outfits
ourselves loomed as a daunting prospect
as the weather decided whether it would
be kind. We had the sulky and the buggy
parked at the back of the property out of
sight and the two ponies tied to the float.
We had to hope they were as reliable as
they had always been as we couldn‟t see
them and were racing around getting
everything else ready.
With the food set up, hot soup in slow
cookers, and savories in a bain-marie,
together with lots of family favourite
cakes and sweets were the order of the
day, we could attend to the myriad of
other details that required attention. With
160+ guests you can imagine how frantic
the last couple of weeks had been,
especially as I had worked until the day
before. I was frantically trimming hooves
when we took the horses down in the
morning, and was thankful that we had
gone with the Edwardian era for our
outfits as they wouldn‟t have worn much
or any makeup. So running out of time to
do makeup wasn‟t the disaster it might
have been otherwise.
Although my hair had already been done
by my chief bridesmaid, Bernie‟s daughter
Daina, I wasn‟t looking too glamorous in
my trackies and ugg boots by the time the
first guests arrived, (before our parking
help and most of the wedding party!!!!!)
So I was directing the guests into their
parks until rescued by a friend who took
over that job.
Bernie was all set to tell the priest taking
the ceremony that we‟d be a bit late,
when I looked at the sky and decided that
wasn‟t an option. So we jumped into the
cars and raced down to the horses, hoping
that we‟d have the entire wedding party
(the last two who were caught in traffic)
by the time we left.
Tipper was harnessed first and left to
stand while we did Aedin. We harnessed
them both in record time, and Bernie
departed with just a fraction of second to
put Luke in as they went. This was
Bernie‟s third time driving a sulky, having
had a trial run the week before to time
how long I had to wait before he got to
where the guests were and unharnessed
Aedin, and about ten minutes the week
before that. He did a wonderful job, and
was carefully looking after his passengers,
the horse and the beloved sulky.
26
Not so the bride!! With black clouds
looming, I threw my dress on and took off
at great speed. Thankfully Tipper had
stood like a statue after Aedin left, but
was certainly up to the task of getting the
bride there on time when needed.
However, I could read his mind (what tha‟
??!!!!) when he approached his normally
empty and quiet arena to find a clapping
crowd and lots of cameras flashing. But
as usual he just kept on with the job at
hand.
My bridesmaids (Daina, and my nieces
Grace and Ella) seemed to enjoy the ride
but they were hanging on pretty tightly.
We knew we could get everyone under
cover once the ceremony was over, but
until then the chairs were out in the open.
So we got through it with just seconds to
spare, and then the rain came. As it was
dry and most of the guests were country
folk they were happy enough to see the
rain. We had two marquees that covered
a lot of the guests, but I was rushing
around trying to find someone to drive the
tractor out of the shed so we could get the
last of the guests under cover. Given that
the oldest guest was 94 and the youngest
a couple of days we didn‟t think standing
in the rain was appropriate for everyone.
Eventually my cousin Heath came to the
rescue, and we were set. The drinks were
in plastic tubs and soon enough of them
were relocated to the shed along with food
to keep everyone happy.
Aedin was in the yard in the middle of the
shed and happily enjoying the attention of
the children, although not as much as if
her owner had remembered to buy more
carrots.
Anyway the day was memorable, the
guests enjoyed it thoroughly, and the
Connemara ponies won a lot more fans. A
very special wedding gift was a piece of
marble from Connemara in Ireland that
had a friend‟s father had owned. It is a
real honour to have been entrusted with
this as I know how special it was to him.
The friend had brought his grandchildren
along some years earlier and they were
doubling with me on Tipper. We were
chuckling at the spontaneous lateral work
when the children had more pressure on
one leg than the other.
Certainly an impressive feat for a stallion
(but no surprise for the Connemara
owner). That the friend now has his own
partbred Connemara and another on the
way.

Greenlich Mr Darcy, by Glenormiston Slipper out of Celtic Georgie Anna.

JO HEARD MEMORIAL TROPHY
A special friend to many in our Society, Jo
Heard was a tireless worker for the CPBSA
and a professed Connemara convert. Her 'Ballantrae' Stud aimed to breed ponies
for children of all ages to enjoy, a capable
pony in all disciplines as well as good
company. This she achieved and it is in
her memory that we award each year the
Jo Heard Memorial Trophy - this goes to an all-round pony with that something
special - not necessarily out winning
ribbons at shows.

KAHEAN STUD NEWS
We were thrilled in October to greet our
final Green Hills Trooper Thomas filly from
Ballina Cleopatra. Kahean Luna Faerie is a
lovely bay with loads of personality. Being
our only foal for the season we quickly
introduced the other fillies from the last
two seasons so that she will have plenty
of playmates.
Glenormiston Ciara was lucky to attend
Equitana to help represent the Connemara
breed. She happily stood for happy snaps
with visitors as well as enjoying the
company of a young girl talking to her
while she lay down for a nap. Ciara also
participated in the Horse of the Year
section and took part in the Jumping
Types talk.
Garnet Ulysses went to the local Kingston
Show with Matt and Chris Foss. He had
one outing as a yearling but hasn't had
any other outings since then. Six ponies
competed in the Led Mountain and
Moorland class. Ulysses won 2nd out of
four ponies and also came home with
Reserve Champion. Nothing fazed him on
the day except the terrifying ribbon
presentation but I'm sure we can work on
that.
