A first for Barrowby Connemaras to make the trip to the midlands to the BNFOY Show and what a day, hundreds of foals had been prepared for this fabulous show.

Barrowby Matchmade has been an unbelievably rewarding homebred, out of of BCPS Champion mare Kirtle Maple Leaf and by Killour Star our young stallion that we bought as a very young colt, this filly just keeps on giving, earlier in the year she was awarded a first premium with BEF and Gold Premium with SPSS. Going onto the BNFOY without her dam she won a huge, very hotly contested Connemara foal class and a win her second class of the day against all types representing the creme gene, she later went Champion. Being so far from home with a young foal we didn't stay for the supreme she had done more than enough for us as breeders with her impeccable manners throughout.

We even got our picture in Horse and Hound :) 

Breeders goals right there!

Homebred-Purebred Connemara Barrowby Lord D'arcy gained a Higher First Premium as an Event Pony with British Equestrian Federation with the lovely surprise of a Diploma award for his Dam Cill Bhrid Judy who is also the Dam of last years First Premium Awarded ThunderRebel, at the Futurity evaluations the ponies are Vetted and Evaluated, it is a great structure for producing top level ponies for sport with backing for us as Breeders from the BEF that our ponies are amongst some of the best!

BEF DEFINITION

"A horse or pony that has an average of scores over 8.5 and a vet score of B or above which means that it has the potential and outlook to perform well at national level, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden. The main difference between a higher first and a first is that the evaluators believe it shows greater athleticism and a greater potential to obtain a higher number of points/prize money and/or be in the placings so as to set it apart from a First premium"

Kiltartan Empress wins the biggest adult class we've seen all year and goes on to take the championship in the greatest of company at Cheshire County Show

Following on from 2016's Supreme Champion title at the Lincoln Breed Show on his debut outing since arriving in the UK, Killaspic Ross took to the showground newly backed in 2017 to win a hotly contested Novice Ridden and went on to take the Ridden champion title, a huge achievement and major proud moment as he was up against two HOYS qualified Stallions and a number of experienced mares and geldings, he has age on his side but he had only a few months ridden education, what a true legend he is.

Kippure Lancelot's First Part bred Foal was born out of SHB mare Golden Gun (wbxcb) a beautiful Bay filly.

Our homebred mare Killaspic Bhrid foaled a lovely filly by Kippure Lancelot

Hitting the ground in Ireland is the 3rd Filly by Kippure Lancelot out of the Connemara mare Omey Cloud

Kilmurray Silver Pearl finally let us have a restful night after giving birth to a huge colt by Kippure Lancelot (we could be any colour but im edging my bets on black)

Kirtle Maple Leaf Foaled a beautiful filly by Killour Star, 

Starting off with a Win in the Newcomers on Saturday morning and a 2nd in the Foxhunter in the Evening Lancelot matched his win again on Sunday morning with a repeat win in the Newcomers and a 3rd in the 1.10 Coral Qualifier. 

A busy 3 day christmas spectacular for Lance. He jumped some amazing clear rounds with a 3rd place in the 1m open, an unfortunate pole in his step up to 1.15m level and 5th in a 1.10 grand prix.

A week later and back down the country again to South View 148 show he had an amazing win in another hugely supported Newcomers and 5th in the Coral 1.10m Qualifier.

Good ponies sell all year round and we have been as busy as ever, which means some of our ponies have gone onto pastures new to amazing homes, unfortunately that also means disappointing a lot of people. Contrary to the website the following ponies are no longer available.

• Castle Warrior sold to a showing home
• Tochar Spirit sold to a showing home
• Barrowby Broadcastle sold to a eventing home
• Barrowby Thunderbird sold to a showing home
• Lisesker Diamond sold to performance home
• Barrowby Thunder Rebel sold to Event Stud as Breeding Stallion

• Not only was he a true professional at Horse of the Year Show he was placed 8th in the final and joint 1st in the Tagg la Liga most consistent connemara of 2016
• Just when you think things cant get any better he only goes and qualifies for Olympia.  

Dual Graded stallion is available in 2017 to Connemara and Non Connemara mares for AI and Natural cover

This young stallion has exceptional fertility!

Kippure Lancelot crowned champion graded stallion for England and Wales in 2016
