Lisdoonvarna,
or "Lizzy" as she is called on the farm, is a GORGEOUS six year old
mare who was imported from Ireland in utero. Sired by the incredible
palomino Gypsy stallion
Clononeen Mull of Kintyre
(a.k.a., “Romeo”), Lizzy is out of our most popular brood mare,
Parnell's Roisin.
Lizzy is named for the city in County Clare, Ireland made famous by
the Irish folk singer Christy Moore. With her superior bloodlines,
it is no surprise that she has excellent conformation, loads of type
and a double mane and tail. In short, Lizzy is one of the finest
Irish Cobs that we have produced to date, and she will be the
cornerstone of anyone’s breeding program. Lizzy, who was started
under saddle by Anthony O’Brien, rides both Western and English, and
is learning to jump! Lizzy is also an experienced driving mare, and
has recently been helping Geir Kanstad of SilverWhip LLC train her
half-brother (Parnell’s Anois) to drive as part of a pair. Lizzy
and Anois serve as the leaders for Parnell’s Gypsy Horse
four-in-hand! Charlie and Jan are in the process of restoring a
1908 Brewster governess cart, which will be Lizzy’s primary driving
vehicle - check out the new PhotoShows of Lizzy pulling this cart
and the presentation gig. Lizzy has participated in a number of
Celtic festivals, such as the Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish Highlands
Festival in Estes Park and the Fort Collins Irish Festival, and has
been ridden in the Denver and Fort Collins St. Patrick’s Day
Parades. Lizzy also has great presence in the show ring, and has
won a number of blue ribbons in both performance and halter
classes. We challenge you to find a mare with more type,
conformation and pedigree than Lizzy – let this elite, award-winning
mare take your breeding program to the top! Lisdoonvarna is
available for purchase for $30,000.
