2009 14.2hh Grey (born buckskin) Connemara gelding
Sire: Erin Terra's Dream On
Dam: Roscommon Liadan
Owned by Annie Balotti-Paleen, Union MO
"Ashby" is a great example of a Connemara's good nature. He was born broke, giving 'lessons' to 6 year old girls and taking care of them every step of the way at 2 1/2 years of age. He is extremely willing and kind, always wanting to please his owner/rider. He is enjoying a break from riding to do a little growing up but has a great future ahead of him. He is a good, huntery mover and his future has no limits.
