BREEDING Connemara ponies is something that I’ve been brought up with, so it was obvious that it was something I was going to be passionate about myself. I’m the third generation in my family to be breeding and using the Glencarrig prefix, which was first used in 1963.

Breeding and showing is something we’ve all had a passion for. The stud now has five Clifden supreme championships to our name, along with countless other wins, including RDS champions too. Breeding is a tough game, but it is incredibly rewarding when the ball bounces the way you hoped it would.
