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 Connemaras are pleased to announce the birth of a lovely bay colt,

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.
