Description

Lancelot is the epitome of the perfect pony. Blessed with not only beauty and personality he oozes quality and delivers performance.

Lancelot has correct conformation with all the desired pony characteristics true to the type of the native Connemara pony.

• He stands a mass of bone measuring 9.5 inches.

• Huge front with a good length of rein.

• A powerful pony with the heart of an angel

• An extravagant, faultless straight mover

• Exceptional temperament

• Tremendous performance ability.

A true all rounder, excelling in every aspect of competition from showing in-hand, ridden, showjumping and eventing, He has a temperament second to none, a true family pony.

His sire, Frederiksminde Hazy Merlin is a Danish imported Class 1 Connemara stallion. His Sire, Hazy Dawn and Dam, Oxenholm Movie Star, together have bred 3 class 1 stallions and 9 class 1 mares who are significantly representing the true traditional Connemara pony. Hazy Dawn was the first pony to ever get the mark 10/10 for type at inspections and in addition to his mating with Merlin’s Dam, Hazy Dawn has Sired a further 9 approved Stallions, there are too many significant names to mention any without naming all.

Lancelots dam, Kippure Kim, a bay registered mare has the most extraordinary rare Connemara bloodlines. Herself she has no record of achievement but the achievements of her parentage as influences on the breed are now legends in books. Her sire, Thunderbay, described as a miracle pony who seemed to fall from the sky he was late to be used and had many years of unknown location, he is a rare but very important line. A direct decendant of Thunderbolt, you wouldn’t need to delve far into record of  FEI recognised Connemara ponies to find many of them are representing the Thunderbolt line way back, rarely would it be this close in bloodlines of an approved stallion available in the current market.
