46th
KILLUSTY PONY SHOW 2009

4th July 2009

REPORT & RESULTS

Charlotte Hatton on 'Charlie Fox' in the Side-Saddle Event at Killusty Show.Charlotte Hatton on 'Charlie Fox' in the Side-Saddle Event

Hearts sank as a day which had started promisingly turned very wet just as classes were beginning at this year's Killusty Show on Saturday 4th July.  It turned out to be just a warning of what might happen as the day soon cleared and Killusty basked in warm sunshine for the rest of the day.  Entries were very good in most classes but particularly good in those with local interest as Handy Pony, Special Lead Rein, Local Riding Pony and Green Working Hunter had entries of over twenty-five each.  The exception to this was the Show Pony Class with only six entries which was a pity as Killusty was founded 46 years ago especially to promote the Show Pony and the breeding of same.

The locals are still breeding good ponies, however, as Mary Hayden's, Tullowcussane Morning Jewel, a 2-year-old Hunter pony triumphed in the AIB Slievenamon Championship, with, Ann Grimes’, Lambay Take a Chance in Reserve.  Mary also took home the Tansy Taran Cup for the Best Filly and the Best Local Cup which she has won before.  The Dawn Fresh Foods Broodmare Championship was also won locally by Joanne O'Connor with Greyrock Finisterre; the Connemara Broodmare winner with Nest FitzGerald's Brandon Voodoo the Show Pony Broodmare in Reserve.  Brandon Voodoo was also the Knight Frank/Mackey Equestrian Qualifier with her foal by Rathnaleen Sinatra.  The Welsh Champion came from Limerick in Miriam Shannon's Treoen Raedoll which also gave a first outing to Miriam's granddaughter Abbie in the Special lead-rein.  Reserve Champion Welsh was Josephine O'Driscoll's Dyfed Highwire, the purebred winner, who had come up from West Cork.  The Butler Connemara Championship, which was very hotly contested, was won by the Ridden Connemara winner Barbara Murphy's Master Mozart, with Jonah Wragg's Partbred Milltown Templar in Reserve.  Both of these are of Fethard.  The traditional cob in-hand Class, which was almost exclusively a local affair, attracted an entry of six, Spectators were three deep and a cheer for the winner (or the judge!) when Donal Slattery's Sox took the red rosette.

Not for the first time the Side Saddle Champion was Philippa Mansergh-Wallace's Kilbride Billy Jo with S. Garrigan's Penni Farthing in Reserve.  With only one class of Show Ponies the Coolmore Stud Killusty Championship was awarded to the very smart Pendley Tap Dancer owned by Kerry's Nicky Taylor with last year's Champion Antrim's Maggie Letters'  Brockwater Lord of the Light in Reserve.  The Pat O'Brien Trophy for the Best Local Riding Pony was awarded to James Devereaux Halley ridden by Francis Holohan of Killusty. The Handy Pony Class was won this year by Sophie Wall's Little Gem and the E.V. Croome-Carroll Cup for the Special Lead Rein will be shared this year by Anna Wyse's Dixie Boy and Margaret Greene's Mountain Ash of Glendhu from a stunning entry of thirty-six in two divisions.  Each of these was able to claim the baseball cap awarded to the best entry from the Parish of Fethard and Killusty.  The Mini Championship awarded in memory of long term past Chairman, Dr. P.J. Stokes was won by the winner of Open First Ridden Show Pony Mr. & Mrs. R. Burns Haighend Chardonnay with Lorna Twomey's Lanaway Sparkle the first year first ridden winner in reserve.  The Lismortagh Stables Open Show Hunter Championship went to Wicklow with Suzanne Garrigan's Penni Farthing taking the honours from Sonja Steyn's JJ Punch.  The Lady Lloyd-Webbers Show Hunter Championship was  awarded to Patrica Burke's Golden Grove Sweet Talk with Michael Mead's Golden Sunrise in reserve.  This Championship was something of a triumph for the breeding of the late Sean Maher who was a long-term supporter of Killusty as both ponies were from his families.

The Farnaleen Stables Moyglass Novice Working Hunter was won by Yvonne Casey's Snowball from Peter Duggan's Ardcon Farley being shown by Emily Higgins.  Patricia Burke's Midnight Whisper will have his name on the Starter Stakes Championship trophy for this year with David Byrne's Ballyloughan Brigadoon in reserve.  Peter Duggan's Ardcon Farley went one better in the Clonmel Oil Open Working Hunter Championship with Andrew Roche's Crystal Grey second in the 133 Working Hunter capturing the Reserve.  The Intermediate Champion was Philippa Mansergh-Wallace's Pebbly Huntingfield, for the second year running, with Patrick Geoghegan's Seaview Tayto in the reserve spot.  Roisin Henry's Grange Homeward Sparrow won the Performance Working Hunter Championship for the Holohan Trophy from a former resident in her yard, Sarah Hatton's Pilheath Strongbow.  The Green Working Hunter with thirty entries was won by Sonya Sten's JJ Punch with daughter Michaela getting a fine tune out of this good pony.  The Tate Croome-Carroll Memorial trophy, for the Equitation Championship, was won this year, fittingly, for the first time, by Charles Croome-Carroll, a cousin of Tates, who has vowed to win it for the next three years so that he can keep it.

A great day was had by all.  The parking worked seamlessly.  The judges were extremely complimentary about their stewards, many of whom were new this year, as the next generation learns the ropes, and enjoyed their lunches prepared by the ladies of the catering committee.  The Dog Show had sixty-four entries all of whom received recognition for their attributes and the Fancy Dress, with twenty entries, was both colourful and wide ranging in subject matter.  After the initial shower the air was like champagne and the sun was warm on the backs, it was a Killusty Show to be remembered.

Killusty Dog Show Results
In contrast to more recent times, Killusty Show 2009 finished in most brilliant sunshine.  These conditions gave just the right atmosphere for both the Dog Show and Fancy Dress attractions to be seen at their very best.  As a result, the standard was higher than ever in both the Dog Show and the Fancy Dress.  There had been a great deal of effort put into preparation and it certainly showed.  Entries for the Dog Show were up by a considerable number and there were more and more imaginative Fancy Dress competitors than ever.  Mrs Janet Barbour had returned from England to judge the dogs and was delighted by the turnout and Rita Walsh was innovative in her awards for the many and varied entrants in the Fancy Dress.  They were both very complimentary as to the standard of entry.
