25.01.2022 Rising 9yo Connemara mare, Glenormiston Hazy Aurora (Frederiksminde Hazy Cavalier (IMP Den) x Glenormiston Kinsale), is so pleased that ALL 7 foals/weanlings are now "hers". Investigating some fallen branches after a stormy couple of days is the latest activity for Aurora's creche, with the young geldings watching intently from the next paddock.

25.01.2022 We farewelled 3yo Connemara gelding, Powderbark Murphy (Powderbark Hazy Julemand x Powderbark Aoife), this week as he went to his new home. Sharing this photo (with permission) of Murphy meeting one of his new friends

25.01.2022 A collection of photos of this season's foals and weanlings, taken over the past few days by Emily. Enjoy!

24.01.2022 Some super photos by Morrison Photography of Powderbark Orlaith (Glenormiston Dundrum x Powderbark Bridget) with her new owner Sophie at their first pony club rally together on the weekend

23.01.2022 Our newest arrival at Powderbark, Miss Paddington (aka Paddy) the Maremma puppy, is settling in well with Bear and Ted showing her how things work here! This morning was all about "investigating" the stream that runs through our bottom paddock- pictured is Bear in the water with Ted next to Paddy at the start of their adventure.... the "after" photos are in comments

19.01.2022 Our 3.5yo Connemara filly, Powderbark Hazy Maeve (Powderbark Hazy Julemand x Powderbark Bridget-SOD Glenormiston Fibber McGee), had her first ride at home this afternoon with Carlisle after a 4 week light start under saddle with Catherine Anderson. Maeve is so forward and so comfortable to ride, with a lovely floating trot- we are just delighted! She will now have a well earned break before going in foal later in the year.

19.01.2022 We are used to hearing visitors saying Oh, it’s Spirit! when meeting our rising 15yo Connemara stallion, Glenormiston Dundrum (Castle Baron (IMP Ire) x Glenormiston Rosmara-SOD Oxenholm Gideon (IMP Den)). It’s lovely to have such a reliable pony when visitors come to our stud, like 9yo beginner rider, Issy, who is still telling people I rode Spirit Stallion on the weekend! (Photo shared with permission.)

17.01.2022 A super photo of Powderbark Malachy (Glenormiston Dundrum x Glenormiston Stormcloud-SOD Gneevebrack Storm (IMP)) at his first showjumping outing earlier this month during the Hygain Feeds Patrons Cup Festival at the State Equestrian Centre. Well done to Malachy's owner, Kriszty, and rider, Rosie- he is looking fantastic! Photo with thanks to Eric Lloyd Photography.

16.01.2022 Our lovely Connemara mare, Powderbark Bridget (Glenormiston Fibber McGee x Glenormiston Cloonshee- SOD Abbeyleix Finbar (IMP Ire)), has retired from breeding after producing 5 wonderful foals for us (Powderbarks Cassidy, Orlaith, Maeve (retained), Violet Gray and Granuaile (retained)). Bridget has been sold to a wonderful family home where she will continue her ridden career. We wish them all the best with this super pony!

15.01.2022 This week we farewelled the super-moving 2yo Connemara gelding, Powderbark Ruairi (Sternbergs Lenaro (IMP Ger) x Glenormiston Hazy Aurora-SOD Frederiksminde Hazy Cavalier (IMP Den)). We wish his new owners all the best and look forward to watching their partnership develop

14.01.2022 It's the first day of Spring and Sternbergs Lenaro (IMP Ger) (El Larry x Lena) is enjoying having new mares to share his paddock! Only a few more weeks to go until his first "grandchild" arrives too, out of daughter Powderbark Leonora and by Glenormiston Dundrum

10.01.2022 2yo Connemara x Irish Sporthorse gelding, Powderbark Conundrum (Glenormiston Dundrum x Powderbark Rosina) went off to his new home today. We wish his new owner all the best with him, he is a real sweetheart of a pony

09.01.2022 Our young geldings this evening, looking rather "full" after their new hay roll was put out yesterday! Led by Bill the Shetland (aka 4yo Pentland Copperboy), L-R is Powderbark Conundrum (yearling partbred Connemara), Powderbark Murphy (2yo purebred Connemara), Powderbark Charlie Brown (3yo purebred), Powderbark Fintan (2yo partbred) and Powderbark Ruairi (yearling purebred).

08.01.2022 Our first foal for the season has arrived- a substantial and very striking buckskin colt by Glenormiston Dundrum and out of Powderbark Leonora (Sternbergs Lenaro (IMP Ger) x Glenormiston Hazy Aurora (AI)-SOD Frederiksminde Hazy Cavalier (IMP Den)). He is the first "grandchild" for both Lenaro and Aurora and we are so excited: introducing Powderbark Shillelagh

07.01.2022 Powderbark Stud would like to congratulate Sophie, who won "Most Improved Rider" at the Margaret River Pony Club 2020 Awards Night held on the weekend.

05.01.2022 It's been a busy week! We farewelled Powderbark Orlaith, Powderbark Rosina and Powderbark Fintan, who have each been sold to a wonderful performance home. We wish their new owners every success and look forward to following their progress.

05.01.2022 It won't be long before 5 week old purebred colt, Powderbark Shillelagh (Glenormiston Dundrum x Powderbark Leonora), and 5 day old partbred filly, Powderbark Sine (Sternbergs Lenaro (IMP GER) x Powderbark Dior), will start playing together!

05.01.2022 These two rising 6yo mares, partbred Connemara Powderbark Rosina (Glenormiston Fibber McGee x Rubyleigh Irish Rose-Irish Sporthorse) and purebred Connemara Powderbark Eithne (Glenormiston Dundrum x Glenormiston Fiona), were born just two weeks apart and have been together ever since. Time to start riding them again!

05.01.2022 It was lovely to receive an update from Jessica about her Connemara x TB gelding, Powderbark Furphy (Glenormiston Dundrum x TB mare by Aly Kingston). Furphy turns 6 on Wednesday and is ready to return home after being started under saddle with Lana (pictured). He is looking fantastic and we look forward to the next update!

03.01.2022 Our rising 5yo Shetland gelding, Bill (aka Pentland Copperboy), has moved in with this season's weanlings and he is so happy! Bill is now a good friend of 8 month old Connemara colt, Powderbark Drumcliff (Glenormiston Dundrum x Glenormiston Fiona), pictured here shortly after they met

01.01.2022 This morning we said goodbye to Powderbark Charlie Brown (Tralee Little Piper x Glenormiston Fiona-SOD Abbeyleix Finbar (IMP)) who has gone to a wonderful performance home. We will miss him but we wish his new owners all the best with this super pony
