First foal of the year in the early hours of the 12th April by Inisfree the Holy Grail out of a beautiful show mare by the renowned Clewbay Bouncer. Lovely pedigree for a future Stallion.

Wonder why our comment has been removed ???? This happened last year and the case is going through the Courts. The importance of this mare was well discussed during scan with Vet and our vet was in our yard several times post initial scan without suggestion of a rescan. We wish to refrain from saying any more as it will be before the Courts.

This morning we attended the Mullingar qualifiers for Balmoral. If we had not qualified already yesterday we would have qualified again today. So proud of this filly - a true to type filly - a filly for the future with beautiful temperament.

We put the work in as a 4 year old and it’s paying dividends as a 5 year old. Still a baby but has matured so much over the last year. Again thanks to Sean Looney our pilot on board. Thanks for all the well wishes from our good friends it means a great deal. 🙏

Delighted that our filly Ahalative Goldsmith qualifies this morning for the BALMORAL PERFORMANCE HORSE 4 & 5 YEAR OLDS at Gransha Equestrian. Over the moon here at GSC. Her last outing in August 2025 this filly was second only to the Overall Supreme of the IDHBA National Show in 2025 in the Mare of the Future. Afterwards our mare won the Working Hunter and was Reserve overall Working Hunter of the National Show 2025 back in August. Thanks to Sean Looney for his efforts and early rise this morning. Thank you 🙏. Something to look forward to after all this rain and miserable weather.
