We are both delighted and thrilled by the outstanding success of our ponies at this seasons West Coast Connemara Pony Show. For the sixth consecutive season our young Stallion Wildwych Eclipse* remains undefeated in his age group against all comers both imported and domestic.  Perhaps even more exciting is the success of his progeny.

Max’s beautiful Two Year Old Redbuds Moonrock (Wildwych Eclipse x Palladia)  won the Partbred Championship in a very strong class of mature ponies any one of which we’d been happy to take home!

Eclipse’s yearling partbred daughter Stellaluna was also this years Shamrock Cup Winner (Yearling Partbred Futurity Winner) as well as the winner of the “Baby Obedience” class! Congratulations to Owner/Breeder Maurya Faulkner.  This is the second Shamrock Cup winner sired by Eclipse in as many years!

Our young purebreds also made a very strong showing with our yearling Purebred Redbud’s Celtic Tiger (Wildwych Eclipse x Glenormiston Amelia) winning his class as well as Kat Ongs Featherstone Nightsong (Wildwych Eclipse x Coastal Tully Roisin) winning hers. Congratulations to Owner Breeder Kat Ong of Featherstone Connemaras!

We also had great fun competing in the Open Dressage Show held in Conjunction with our Breed Show. Eclipse won his second level test and also received his first qualifying score at 2nd Test Four. We also had great fun with our four year olds Century Hills Taylor Maide and Redbuds Cracker Jack. Both Ponies received “8‘s” for gaits, scoring  67.2% at training level test four.

Most exciting however is that our Taylor Maide passed her breed inspection with exceptionally high marks making her a Premium Mare Candidate. Taylor also placed third in perhaps the best mares class we’ve ever seen, as well as winning the class for broodmares! Well done Taylor Maide.
