Canal Lorna
We took delivery of Lorna in May 2010, direct from Connemara itself.
She was bred by Padraic Hynes at the 'Canal Connemara Pony Stud'. She is by Frederiksminde Hazy Match. He has bred
and produced many top quality ponies since he started the 'Canal Stud.'
He dam side is very
important to us, as Lorna goes back to great mares such as Village Laura, (who decends from Village Swallow) and also Finola
of Leam.
Lorna's colour is also an important asset to us. Bays and Browns are not always seen now as the grey pony
has become dominant, so we hope that we can encourage the hard colour Connemara to become strong again.
She will be shown lightly and when ready she can be put to a stallion to start her stud career. We hope
to break her and have her ridden in the future.
She has had a very successful 2011 show season...
- 1st Ipswich Horse Show
- 1st Woodbridge Show
- 4th Royal Norfolk Show
- 1st BCPS Eastern Show
- Reserve Youngstock Champion at BCPS Eastern Show
