Connemara show 2008

The finish Connemara pony show was a big success.
Elisabeth Petch was judging and more than 50 ponies were shown.
For Finland this is a very good show number, as the population is not that big, therefore the distance are greater, which breeders and owners have to go.

Best stallion and supreme champion was the dun stallion Rockfield Scarface.
The stallion will be in Sweden for the covering season 2009!

All pictures and information has been kindly provided by Satu Pitkanen. Thank you very much! Paljon kiitoksia!
