FROM ACPS.ORG "CONNEMARA HAPPENINGS" JANUARY 2013:
Exeter, NH: Sally Oxnard has sent this report regarding Equine Affaire. Region 1 sponsored the ACPS Connemara booth at Equine Affaire in West Springfield MA on November 8,9,10, and 11. We had the use of the Pop-up from the WEG booth, and videos running on our large screen TV, and ACPS pamphlets, magazines, and Region 1 and 2 fliers to hand out, as well as the Region 1 store of course. The agenda was jam packed with a breed demo in the Coliseum on Sat at 11 AM (prime time) as well as a clinic by Sarah McRae and a sport pony demo. The well choreographed Breed Demo started with 2 stallions driving, Adirondack AHearne (Rosenaharley Laurens x Hideaways Smitheranne) owned and driven by Cindy Fletcher, and Baileys Irish Dream (Balius Turlough x Beacons Siobhan) owned and driven by Pat Shields. Then we brought on Fidelio III, (Quickly Ravary x Swing River) a 19 yr old palomino gelding imported from France who is owned and ridden in FEI dressage by Fern Feldman. Then the jumping ponies arrived, including Aluinn Durango (Aladdins Denver x Pattys Meredith) owned and ridden by Sarah McRae, Crib Glass Bugle ( Aladdins Denver x Millpond Irish Wink) , owned and ridden by Shannon Wallman- Hatch, and Hohnhurst Madeleine ( Pattys Benedict x Hauptstutbuch Noerdlunds Madigan) , owned by Lori Decato Metz and ridden by Laine Metz.
The petting stall ponies which were much admired included the stallions Harry and Dreamer, and various irresistible foals from Drybrook Farm and Trum Searah farm.
ACPS Current News: Week of 12-4-11 West Springfield, MA: Regions 1 and 2 had another excellent showing in November at Equine Affaire, 2011. Sally Oxnard says, In addition to the booth and the petting stall we had a breed demonstration during prime time in the Coliseum. The ponies were the stars as always."
