A New Stallion for the Midlands - Banks Timber

Unbeknownst to the pony, March 20th was the most significant day in the life of 4 year old Banks Timber (Teglstrup Duke-Banks Do Do) when he achieved Class 1 status at the Inspections at Mullingar Equestrian Centre.   His proud owner, Seamus Hynds, said ‘Joe Burke has done a fantastic job of showing ‘Tim’ to his best – I am absolutely delighted’.

On Monday, 13th February a very enjoyable evening was had by all who attended the launch of the 2nd volume of the Connemara Pony Review, edited by Ruth Rogers who is also Chairperson of the MCPB.   The launch was held at the Grand Hotel, Moate and there were about 150 people gathered – friends and enthusiasts came from all parts of the country with many travelling long distances.   The Review was formally launched by Nicky McFadden, TD and Andy O’Donoghue, CPBS President also said a few words.

Again, this year Ruth is to be congratulated on an excellent publication which will be enjoyable ‘bedtime reading’ for all.
