 On
June 16, 2008 the licensed stallion Thunderstorm passed away. He was
a great dressage pony who won several prizes with his rider Jeanine
van het Schut. During ONCK 2008 they gained the highest score for
a dressage test during the day. Thunderstorm will be missed at home
and at all the Connemara show- and performance events. |

| Two Connemara ponies won the Regional Championships in dressage: Jessica BAF ridden by Denise Hoogzaad won the class Z1-dressage in Noord Holland. The licensed stallion Thunderstorm ridden by Jeanine van het Schut won the class M2-dressage in Gelderland. Congratulations! | ||||||||
 Champion
stallion for the year 2004 is Easter van de Leliaard. He combined
a true Connemara type with good paces and a good performance. Two
young stallions (3 and 4 years old) presented themselves for the inspectors,
but they didn't qualify for a license. Two stallions who weren't present in the years before returned and received a license again: Buachaill O'Eirne and Anders van de Leliaard. Ben Hur van de Leliaard who didn't got a license last year, was in a very good condition again, and can be used again for breeding. The jumping competition was won by Finn Mc. Cloud Westland, who was second last year. His half brother Armando van Strijthagen, first last year, was beaten this time and received a second prize. |

 Brimstone
van Graaf Janshof qualified for the performance award (prestatie).
He qualified through the dressage results with Laurie Janssen and
the drivng results with Inez Kooij. Brimstone started his performance
career on an age of 20! |

One new stallion is the result of the inspections on April 6. Finn Mc. Cloud Westland, a grey son of Garryhinch Finn and Winter Cloud got his license due to good type and jumping ability. Diplomat, a 16 years old son of Diamond Rum got his keur-award. He is the 5th stallion in Holland that received such an award.

 June
19, 2002 the stallion Atlantic Curragh died. Even on this old age,
he still was going strong as if he was a young pony. Running around
and in his 33th year he successfully covered a mare, resulting in
a now 1 year old filly. He will be missed dearly at the Leliaard stud.
This picture has been taken a few weeks before his death. |

On the 7th of April the inspections took place in The Hague. The jury awarded 1 young stallion with a license. The grey Easter van de Leliaard showed good paces and good jumping abilities. He is by Brimstone van Graaf Janshof (keur) out of Easter Daisy (keur, prestatie). After the inspections several stallions were showed. Marvel van Graaf Janshof and his son Bright Moon Westland looked great. Buachaill O'Eirne and Ashfield Silver Ghost (both imported from Ireland) were showed ridden by Brigitte Smits. She competes with them in show jumping. Especially Ashfield is competing very well. Brimstone van Graaf Janshof and Ben Hur van de Leliaard were ridden by Laurie Jansen and Anja de Graaf and gave a demonstration dressage (with music). The versatility of the Connemara was showed again today.
