Marglyn Connemara Sporthorse Stud Connemara Sporthorse Stud History of Marglyn Connemara Sporthorse Stud

My name is Sarah Kenney and following is how the Marglyn Connemara Stud first evolved.
(5)

It all started in the late 70's with my mother & father (Margaret & Lindsay Kenney.) Marglyn Connemara Stud was founded with Connemara Park Sheba, Barwidgee Drummer(stallion) & Clonterna Honeysuckle(imp), which all arrived from over east. Unfortunately Drummer tried to serve a mare over a barb wire fence and had to lose a testical. We were never able to show him, but he went on to produce some bea

utiful animals, with amazing natures. I do recall having 120 horses at one stage with 3 stallions being involved. Barwidgee Drummer, Sundale Saxon and Wendamar Willowbach. The stud dispersed in 1981. We moved to Perth and had a huge scale down. In 1981 I won the National 3DE championships when I was 16 on Marglyn Chief, my third 3DE a huge effort since we bred, Lori Lever broke him in, and I trained him myself. We went to the Eastern States to win the Pony Club State Championships and was 37 points out in front after the dressage alone, I also came second in the Scone Novice 2 day event State Championships by a point carrying 16kg of led to be 75kg. Directly after that I gave up riding and returned to Perth. I did not sniff, or breath a horse for 15 years. My sister purchased the magnificent Dylan Glen Shamrock with Homevale Zadia in foal. I then acquired a Thoroughbred mare by Jenark, 2 Percheron/TB mares and a Oldenburg mare, Saba Park Minuet. They are the foundation mares of the NEW Marglyn Connemara Sporthorse Stud. My aim is to produce 15hh horses which are quiet, agile, run on the smell of an oily rag, that will never have to be shod, will be perfect for ponyclub, eventing, showjumping and harness. Since 2001 my daughter Che Hetherington and I have been mainly focusing on producing part bred connemara's and occasionally pure's. Towards end of 2013, we purchased our first pure bred chestnut connemara mare. This was to secure the chance of either a palomino or chestnut to our resident stallion Garnet Kavalier. We were ecstatic to find a lovely chestnut mare in NZ, Kohatu Solar Flare, whom has come over in foal to a stunning chestnut connemara stallion, Crossiebeg Brennan. We have now shifted our focus to producing purebreds, with the occasional sport horses. This has then led us to search for mares that are true to type, beautifully natured and have a bonus of colour. Our goal for the connemara's in Australia, is to have the availability of colour, rare lines and still producing type, temperament and versatility. We now have a selection of typey and lovely bloodlines in our mares, and our new residential stallion Clairvale Constellation is starting to produce some beautiful stock.

Echo is a well put together boy with a beautiful temperament. His movement is very free flowing and it certainly catches your eye, he is the first to meet you in the paddock and likes to be involved in everything. He would suit many disciplines and be a fantastic future all-rounder pony.
He is easy to catch, trim, lead, float.
He will be registered and branded upon weaning.
