....because after a year without foals we are expecting offspring from great matings

In April, Ballydavid Fianna (by Kilmullen Fionn) is due to foal by  Crystal Cool Spirit by Munkholm Cobbergate (European Dressage Championship participant).

E.V. Tamara (by Gwennic de Goariva) is expecting an offspring by Asagao xx, successful up to CIC**.

In May, Chiara vom Donaumoos (by federal premium stallion Leonardo I) is due to foal by Birdmountain Van Halen, breed winner of the licensing

Last but not least Carnane Camille (by I love you Melody) is expecting an offspring by Langtoftegard Marco, federal premium stallion and federal reserve winner of the versatile stallions across all pony breeds in the 4 to 6-year-old age group, will foal.

We had a very successful 2023
In March Birdmountain Younique, *2020, was licensed. He is the first licensed son of the outstanding Wirthsmühle Dark Diamond (licensing winner sport ponies and best performance tested stallion of the short test; full brother to European Champion Wirthsmühle Denlaney`s) out of Carnane Yves (by Clifden winner and sport pony in GB Inellan Condor out of the multiple show winner Cnocban Yasha). We are very proud  and congratulate the happy owners. Birdmountain Younique will most likely also be available through AI

In September we were very successful at the Connemarapony Show 2023, Germany:
Carnane Yves, dam of homebred Birdmountain Younique rocked the show : Winner of the 8-9 year old mares, best mare in Show and Champion Supreme & Best in Show, congratulations to the breeders, Mike and Deirdre Holmes, Ireland and the new owner, Ute Walther. We were also very happy about the success of Sternberg Salut, reserve winner of the 17-year-old and older mares.

It was also an outstanding year in competition:
Ros Star by Kilmullen Fionn placed six times at 1.05 and 1.10m level (style cross-country and eventing competitions). She was part of the Marburg-Biedenkopf team and achieved fourth place in the Hessian Eventing Team Championships (1.10m) and was presented twice internationally, e.g. first reserve CIC * Intro Bad Harzburg

We are looking forward to the first foal out of Ballydavid Fianna (by Killmullen Fionn). Fianna was successfully produced in dressage and show jumping. Her foal is sired by WM Dark Diamond. Dark Diamond is a fullbrother to WM Delaney´s, European Champion and sire of Skærgårdens Delicious Love, HOYS Champion 2017. Dark Diamond did not only win the performance test with flying colours but was in 2020 sucessfully produced in show jumping classes for young horses and sired three (!) of the best 10 (performance, not only Connemara Pony) foals in Bavaria.

Our riders and ponies have been successful in some tournaments this year, too. For example, Ballydavid Fianna (by Killmullen Fionn) and Vinura Rockola (by Erissmore Rocky) came second in a dressage class class E. They were a part of the Grünberger pony team. Ballydavid Fianna also were first in the ribbons in a dressage class A and showed a great round in the show jumping team competition Kl. E. Vinura Milly (by Banks Timber) was first time shown in a show jumping competition class A, a young horses class and in a dressage class A and was already twice 1st Reserve, all against warmbloods. Our ponies are wonderful.

In July, not our ponies, but our stable and the conditions of horse husbandry were awarded. Our husbandry conditions did not only convince ("fulfilled") the commission of the LAG in all seven categories. But we achieved twice the distinction "silver" ("more than fulfilled") and even triple "GOLD "(" much more than fulfilled "). Our husbandry is with regard to "nutrition "," social behavior "and" health " outstanding. The criteria can be found at www.lag-online.de.We are very proud of that!
