Kristen, Merry’s trainer, says, “Despite being under saddle for only a matter of months, Merry exhibits the diversity and trainability that is renowned in the Connemara breed and the emphasis of Rosewood Farm’s sport pony breeding program. Rosewood Farm is very proud of Merry and her achievements in 2007 and looks forward to many great things from her in the future." Article from American Connemara Pony Society web site. |
Windsor, CA: Darian and Allen Hall’s Rosewood Farm had a fantastic finish last weekend to an already successful 2007 show season. At the November 16-18th Ram Tap Pony Club Benefit Horse Trial, their pure-bred mare, Tintern Merry Robuck (Tulira Robuck X Wild Thing [by Ferdia]) won her debut event at the Open Beginner Novice level. She added no penalties to finish on her dressage score and was the only pony to compete in her class. This talented mare was started under saddle in April of this year by rider/trainer Kristen Enedy and is coming along exceptionally well. This win was preceded by a great showing at the 2007 West Coast Connemara Show where Merry and her half-sister, Tintern Lilly Robuck (Tulira Robuck X Lady [by Moy Johnny's Pride]), took home several championships and two perpetual trophies, including the prestigious Skip Noonan Trophy, awarded to the mare with the most points in the performance and breed classes.
