Powderbark Matilda Bay
Sire: Glenormiston Fibber McGee (Connemara pony)
Dam: Binbrook Leonie (Anglo-Arab)
Matilda Bay was born bay, like both parents, and she is rapidly turning steel
grey, like Fibber. She is a very pretty filly with arabian elegance but Connemara
substance. She is friendly and bold and has a lovely thick soft plush coat
which she likes people to rub for her. Matilda Bay has been very
successful shown in hand. She won her class at the 2006 Royal Show where
when was shown as a part bred arab, and in 2007 she was second to her half
sister, Powderbark McWhinney, when shown as a part bred connemara. She was
champion part bred connemara at the 2009 Hack Council Show and also performed
well at the 2007 Night of Stars as part of the connemara display. Her
final achievement for 2007 was winning the part bred connemara Hi Point award.
We are retainng Matilda Bay for our stud and are looking forward to starting her under saddle later this year.
Matilda Bay has the squeakiest neigh of any of our foals, which has earnt her
the nickname "Squeakabit"!

Powderbark
Rose (Connemara Pony)
Sire: Glenormiston Fibber McGee
Dam: Glenormiston Cloonshee
Powderbark Rose is a pretty
filly by Glenormiston Fibber McGee and out of Glenormiston Cloonshee. Rose
is dark bay but will turn grey, like both her parents. She is energetic
and intelligent and VERY cute!
Rose is growing into a sturdy pony with plenty of substance. At the 2006 Perth Royal Show Rose was third in a class for Connemara fillies three years and under. She was only six months old at the time, and she behaved perfectly (see her Royal Show photos above)..
Her favourite thing is galloping. She reminds
us of the lines in the R.L. Stevenson poem, "Windy Nights";
"By at the gallop [she] goes, and then
By [she] comes back at the gallop again."
We are retaining Rose for our stud.
Powderbark
Aislinn (Connemara pony)
Sire: Glenormiston Fibber McGee
Dam: Glenormiston Adare
Our first foal for 2006 is Aislinn. She is dark bay and will be grey, like her father, Fibber. She is a big boned, strong filly. She is also the first of Fibber's offspring to have a white marking: she has a small white star.
Like Rose, Aislinn loves galloping, but she also specialises in "airs above the ground" i.e. bucks, rears, caprioles and other varied leaps. She is very independent, self-possessed pony.
We are retaining Aislinn for our stud, having sold her half sister, Eireann.
