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.
