Ellie, aka Pagestown Harmonise, is a beautiful, sweet tempered, and very well bred mare. Superb mover with a gorgeous head and she breeds these attributes. Her stunning 2023 TBxID c**t (seen in 2nd video) was purchased by a HOYS winning show family in the UK prior to weaning.Dam Liskillen....

Dempsey showing off his moves- floaty trot is a family trait for all April’s kids, combined with that short-coupled uphill power from dad Angus- win, win 💕

Needless to say we are very excited about this boy’s future 😁

If you have a Carrafarm raised horse you can be pretty sure they are used to a lot of scary things, including 59 Jack Russell’s running around their heels, Labrador’s that trip them up & Al & Sue’s that chase them… But I’m pretty sure Jude has never seen an umbrella before today 🤣

Boy has this lad landed on his feet with his lovely new family in the UK 💕

She was nicknamed ‘the gazelle’ at about 2 days old, today Roxie twinkled her toes in the finest of style to win the HSI Foal Championship qualifier in both the Traditional & Eventing sections & qualify for the final in October 🍀

So proud of this lovely filly & her dam April who has now given us 4 fabulous kids 💕

Could not be happier for one of the nicest gentlemen in the horse world Tom Jones, whose newly approved 4 year old TIH stallion Carrick Diamond Royale is the sire of this lady. April expecting a full sibling for 2025 🤞

Such an enjoyable day at the IDHBA National Show in Punchestown yesterday, we love to support this show. Old hand April was showing the ropes to her filly foal Roxie, and 4yo Juno with her c**t foal Harry Potter, who were all having their first ever day out. April won her Broodmare class, expertly led by good friend of Carrafarm Caoilfhionn Rynne, who was also making her in-hand showing debut! Harry Potter won his Part-Bred Foal class and Roxie was 3rd in the TIH foal class. Juno was so well behaved at her first show, it was a pleasure to lead her up.
