Quality Connemara Ponies and German Riding Ponies








 

 

Over the past couple years and after a great deal of thought, we decided to re-define our breeding goals.  Even though we had great success with our Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods, we wanted to consentrate our efforts and channel our energy in one direction. Our new goal was to breed the finest and most atheletic sport ponies that we could. We already had what we believed to be a top quality stallion in Greystone's Adirondack A'Herne, an approved Connemara stallion. With 50 plus Grand and Reserve Championships and numerous Year End Awards already to his credit, we felt very confident that our goals could be attained.

 

In order to establish creditability in the pony world, we knew it would be imparitive that our ponies be inspected and approved by reputible breed registries. We checked out several and made the decision that the Weser-Ems Registry (German Riding Ponies) through the German Oldenburg Verband was the first step in attaining our goal.

 

In 2006, we presented three off-spring of our stallion to the jury of the Oldenburg Verband. All three mares were approved and entered into the Main Mare Book of the Weser-Ems Registry in Germany. The excellent scores and fovorable comments by the jury reaffirmed what we had always believed about our ponies. We were heading in the right direction with our breeding program.

 

It wasn't enough to have just our mares approved, we needed to establish our stallion as a reputable candidate in the breeding world. We were encouraged by the director of the North American Office of the Oldenburg Horse Breeding Society to pursue the Approval of our stallion. In 2007, we presented "Greystone's Adirondack A'Herne", aka "Harry", to the jury at the Oldenburg Inspection held at the Equine Horse Park of Cornell University. Even though "Harry" had already been Approved by the American Connemara Pony Society as a stallion, that in no way would guarantee that the Weser-Ems Registry would approve him and enter him in their stud book. After his presentation to the jury, they gave their comments to the audience and announced to everyone that "Greystone's Adirondack A'Herne" was the newest Approved Weser-Ems stallion in North America. We were elated. We later realized that he was the first American bred and born pony stallion to be approved by them.

 

It is with a great deal of pride that we present our "German Riding Ponies" to you.
