Village Linnet takes the Glory in 2010!

20 Aug, 2010 ~ All Posts, News, Show Results | | 2 Comments » ~ ~

Even the rain held off from spoiling Show day at Clifden, despite quite literally blowing hot and cold. Grey clouds hung over us, teasing us with the odd drop, but the deluge only came when the day was over and the throngs were heading home. And what a day! Large classes of top-flight ponies, turned out to the ultimate degree, were there to trouble the judges and delight the spectators.

We ourselves launched an attempt on the 2yo filly class with Ashbrook Órga who had done so well all year, only to be left disappointed in a class that drew a buzz from the crowd. The judges unable to decide on a winner and had to call on a referee judge to cast the deciding vote. Padraig Hynes and Kieran McGrath stood by Canal Princess and Hazelrock Star for almost twenty minutes before Padraig was finally given the nod. Shouts of encouragement to both rang out as they took their well earned lap. Padraig and Canal Princess went on to win the Junior Championship also.

Another notable feature of the day was the introduction of the 4-6yo Stallion class, heralded as an opportunity for the younger stallions to shine and be judged, outside of the shadow of their more mature brethren. Stallion owners were obviously also keen on the idea, and we were treated to 18 young stallions forward – a preview of stud opportunities to come! Patrick Mc Grath’s Lucky Rebel (S1-2312) took the honours. Patrick and Lucky Rebel then advanced to meet the return of brother Kieran and Hazelrock Star (M1-20878) to the ring, this time in the ‘Visitor’ Championship. Hazelrock Star took the red rosette this time, with Patrick taking the blue.

To top-off another memorable Clifden were the relatively quick-fire Confined and Supreme Championships. Padraic & Nicola Heanue’s Castle Cailin Ard (M-9951) took the Reserve Confined, with Henry O’Toole’s lovely Village Linnet (M1-14423) called to take the top spot. Only three contenders entered the ring to compete for the Supreme title against this pair of ponies, and they were rapidly confirmed as Supreme (Village Linnet) and Reserve Supreme (Castle Cailin Ard) also.
