Killary Maid IRE 424

At the 2005 Swedish national show there were several ponies all with a common ancestry in the mare Killary Maid. She was born in 1933 in Ireland, but only 15 years later, with the birth of her grand daughter Trabane Lass, did the mare family she had given rise to catch speed. In fact may wonder about the connection between Killary Maid and Trabane Lass as Trabane Lass has no recorded pedigree in the Irish stud book. It's only under her Sweden-exported daughter she's listed as a daughter of Lassie. Whether that is true or not doesn't really matter here as there are no branches of the family before Trabane Lass, so let's just go ahead and look at her influence. Trabane Lass was the dam of seven registred daughters. Her second oldest daughter, Glentrasna Brown, was born in 1956 and became the most successful daughter of Trabane Lass.

Camp Beauty, one of Glentrasna Borwn's eleven daughters, is perhaps best known in Sweden as the dame of the Elite mare Heather Hill. Through her 19 progeny, born over a period of 20 years, Heather Hill has given rise to a large clan of successful performance ponies. They have competed in most disciplines, perhaps with a small preference for show jumping, and one year the Värnamo pony team consisted to 3/4 of Heather Hill progeny. Most successful has perhaps the son Tiger Star been, among the ten best show jumping connemaras in 1984 and 1985. Chess II and Fazette have also been successful in show jumping and dressage respectively. In hand the daughter Cherie has perhaps been the best with a victory among the older mares at the 1989 breed show and those who visited the local show at Ängelholm last year might remember Östrahults Solei. For her successful offspring Heather Hill has been awarded the SCS brood mare award and she lived to the ripe old age of 37.

Heather Hill's daughter Cindie was exported as a five year old to Finland, leaving behind a daughter at Östra Hult. The daughter, Cenita, competed successfully in show jumping during the 90-ies. Cindies full sister Cherie has been a valuable brood mare. Her daughter Count on Chiquita started her career by winning the quality test and coming secon in the young pony championships in show jumping as a five year old, only to top it with a victory as a six year old. This year she took a strong silver at the national show and was seventh in the Swedish eventing championships. Chiquitas big brother Royal Fighter has also showed a performance talent. As a five year old he was third in the young pony dressage championships after qualifying for both jumping and dressage.

Östrahults Solei is the dam of this years Connemara champion in show jumping - Harley Davidson. Solei's daugher Östrahults Sonette was sevond in her class with a strong silver at the 1997 national show. As a brood mare she's behind Östrahults Avant, quality test winner, several times gold awarded with as much as 42 p and third in last years Connemara dressage championships. Sonette is also the dam of Östrahults Benz who did well in this years ridden classes at the national show, winning one dressage class and coming second in the dressage championships. Östrahults Dag, a daughter of Sonette is a diploma mare just like her daughter Alfa who was also gold awarded at this years national show. Heather Hill had har last foal at the age of 24, Östrahults Simone, whose son Östrahults Attack won the quality test in Nybro 1994.

Camp Beauty, Heather Hill's dam, was exported to the UK. At the Calmore stud she became the mother of Calmore Chess who became one of the foundation mares at the Bardsey stud. Her daughter Bardsey Alice has won at the brittish breed show and later became the mother of successful performance ponies such as Kilcolman Puffin, who has done well in the British Performance Award Scheme, and Ballymore Seamus, who has qualified for the ridden championships at Olympia. Cam Beauty alse came to Bardsey. Her daughter Bardsey Choice has also won at the British breed show as has Choice's son Killiney Chorister. From the Welsh Bardsey, Camp Beauty's descendants have spread north all the way to Scotland through the daughter Bardsey Chalice, dam of the British breed show winner Eastlands Fawnscars, and the grand daughter Bardsey Stellar, daughter of Bardsey Charlotte and foundation mare ath the Kirtle stud.

Another daughter of Camp Beauty, Nine of Diamonds, has taken the family to Denmark. Nine of Diamonds's daughter Gyllingnaes Patricia was imported to Sweden in 1983 after competing in the European pony show jumping championships the previous year. In Sweden she continued competing in show jumping if no longer on a European level.

Glentrasna Brown's first and only registred son was born in 1968. Bloomfield Bobby is the sire of Renvyle Laura who won her class at Clifden as a yearling and who was in the ribbons both as a three and a four year old. He is also the sire King Kong who as been fairly successful ridden.

Ganty Nutmeg, Glentrasna Brown's daughter from 1973, became a brood mare at the Coosheen stud. Her daughter Coosheen Nutmeg started her showing career in 1979 when she as a two year old won her class, both at Dublin and Clifden show and was supreme champion at the Clifden show. She repeated the triumph the following year when she again was supreme champion at Clifden show and reserve champion in Dublin. Coosheen Nutmeg was later exported to Germany where her show success continued with championships in the late 80ies and early 90ies. Her daughter Vechte Nina has followed in her dams hoofprints and was youngstock champion at the North German show in 1989, the same year as Nutmeg won tha championship title at the same show. Nutmeg's younger sister, Coosheen Muffin, was also exported, but went to France where she became a brood mare at the Briace stud.

Glentrasna Brown's youngest daughter, Coral Dun, was born in 1975. She was exported to the UK and won her class at the British breed show when she was 15. In Ireland she left a daughter, Coral Teresa, who was second among the three year old mares at Clifden show in 2000. Among her British progeny perhaps Charlesland Springtime has been the most successful. She is several times class winner at the British breed show and her son Charlesland Mystic Owen More won the class for three year old geldings last year.

If you look at Glentrasna Browns sisters they have perhaps not had quite the same success, but there are still many nice international traces from them. Abbeyleix Stella was exported to the UK where she became the mother of Washlands Rebecca who in turn was exported to Australia where she had a many progenies at the Glenormiston stud. Her son Glenormiston Patrick has been a successful show jumper and another son, Glenormiston O'Neill Clanaboy, is the sire of Noweddie Najoy, champion at a south Australian show in 1993. A grandson of Rebecca, Glenormiston Billies Bay, has been exported to the USA for a career as a stallion, and a grand daughter, Glenormiston Annashee has been exported to Germany, so the family has more or less made an around the world journey.

The next Trabane Lass-daughter in line is Snowdrop. Her greatest contribution to the breed is through the daughter Snowdrop's Surprise who in turn is the dam of the 1993 Clifden show champion, the stallion Coral Prince. Coral Prince has also been successful as a sire with daughters like the multiple Clifden show winner Roundstone Mare and this years supreme champion Kingstown Molly II. Beside Coral Prince Sonwdrop's Surprise is also the dam of Riverside who as a three year old was third at the Dublin Horse Show and second at Clifden show, and Loughconneera Snowdrop, exported to the UK and travelling on to France when her owners decided to move ponies and all to Provence. Other exports descending from Snowdrip are the Australian exported daughter Blue Hill and the Swedish exported great great grand son Mr Sparky.

The secon big branch of Killary Maid's family that came to Sweden found its way here already in the mid 60ies in the shape of Maire Ruadh who is listed in the first volume of the Swedish stud book. Maire Ruadh began her brood mare career at the Wänga stud where she became the dam of the show jumper Wänga Robin. In 1969 she was shown at the pony show at Valla where she was awarded a silver. The same year she gave birth to Wänga Maire Joy. Wänga Maire Joy became a brood mare at the Idholmens stud. Amone her offspring are many good performance ponies, Idholmens Bambi, Idholmens Bobby, Idhomens Gilda, Idholmens Lobby, and before she came to Idholmen, Sweet Maire Brown. Bambi has been among the ten best eventing Connemaras and Bobby among the top ten show jumping Connemaras. Another offspring, Idholmens Zibylla is ane elite premium brood mare. Among her progeny are the show jumper Östrahults Didrik, Hagalyckans Bailey, class winner at the 2003 national show and Hagalyckans Dun Hazel, diploma mare and second in this summers Connemara show jumping championships. Another daughter, Östrahults Candela has been exported to Finland.

Another Maire Ruadh daughter is Bernadette. Three of her offspring, Bellinda, Bernado and Bessie have all competed sucessfully in show jumping and Bernado has also been among the best cross country ponies in the country. A daughter of Berenice has been exported to Finland and Bessie has on top of her performance carreer given birth to several show jumpers: the son Brave Star, the seventh best show jumping Connemara in 1992 and the unregistred daughter Betina. Bernadette's sister Malin Head is tha dam of Brandon Bay, secon in the quality test and successfully competing in dressage and eventing. Above all she has been the dam of a number of in hand winners such as the several times gold awarded Dale Drizzle and Dale Mizzle where the latter also was BIS at the local show in Sala 1996. Strong silvers have been awarded Dale Lee and Clew Bay who has been well up at the top at local shows.
