Connemaras, Bitsy and Dawn's Alannah Madison move to Big Sky Farm

Top photo: Old Carolina's Bitsy at her new home, Big Sky Farm. Bitsy is a Connemara pony by *Gun Smoke and out of Oakfields Garnet Finch. Above: Scott with Bitsy on the morning we loaded her and Alannah in the trailer at Dawn of Promise Farm to go to northwest Illinois. Below: Dawn's Alannah Madison, 3-yr-old Connemara mare bred by Dawn of Promise Farm (Kerrymor Madison X Serendipity's Savannah) in her new home at Big Sky. We'll keep you posted as Alannah begins her training for an eventing and foxhunting career and as Bitsy has her foal by Madison next summer. She is due in June 2010.

We recently delivered two of our Connemara ponies to their new owner, Nancy Winter, at Big Sky Farm. Nancy has bred very competitive half-bred Connemaras out of her Connemara mares for years. She is switching her program to purebred Connemaras and has added a few younger mares to her group.

We're so pleased that our two gals, Old Carolina's Bitsy, whom we bred to Kerrymor Madison for Nancy, and one of Madison's daughters, Dawn's Alannah Madison (out of Serendipity's Savannah), are now calling Big Sky Farm in beautiful northwestern Illinois their new home. On our return trip from vacation we stopped to see the girls and pick up our horse trailer. They looked happy as could be in their lovely new home. I'm including a couple pictures for your enjoyment. Thank you Nancy!
