I don't usually ride the horses in training because I don't want to work that hard. I would love to trade a filly or colt for a laid back broodmare {ACPS… Continue

Kristen and Knighty

Congratulations on a new partnership: Kristen Enedy and Tullymore's Mountain Knight. Kristen has been riding Knighty for the past year and has brought him along very well in dressage, trail riding, over fences and a bit of cross country training. Kristen has been eventing her big TBs up through the advanced levels. Who knew that she would fall in love with a 14.1 Connemara stallion.

We will welcome Kristen as a new Connemara owner and member of area X Connemara Society.
