Tower Hill's Breeze ('04) is the last of the famed Tower Hill Farm ponies. She is by *Kilfenora Windy Isles, chosen by Mary Rutter to breed to her lovely mare Tower Hill's Kathleen (*Chiltern Copa x Tower Hill's Katie). Kathleen had already had a few foals who were oversize, so Mary was looking for a smaller sire.

It was a good choice. Kathleen was Champion in Hand at her first Region 1 Show, with the substance and presence of her sire,* Chiltern Copa. Windy Isles has plenty of bone and great movement. Breeze has been the Young Stock Champion 3 times at the Region 1 show, and was much admired at her ACPS inspections. She is 14 hands, and was born chestnut, now going grey.

As well as having Zephyr in 2011, Breeze participated in the mare class at the USEF Connemara Judges clinic hosted by Bantry Bay Farm in September. It was only a demo but she was placed first.

TH Breeze won her Training Level Test 3 class at her first recognized dressage show in June 2010, and placed well in TLT 4. After the Region 1 show she will retire to be a lady in waiting as she is in foal to *Canal Laurinston.


Tower Hill's Breeze spent the early months of 2009 at 4.0 Farm in Stratham NH, in dressage training. She attended the Region 1 Field day at Wendy Warner's Seven Springs Farm, followed by the Northeaster Welsh Cob and Pony Society Show at Hits on the Hudson where she was Champion Mare and Reserve Champion Connemara in the Connemara division.

At the 2009 ACPS Region 1 show she was Reserve Champion mare, and pinned in every class she entered.

At Dressage at Devon in Devon PA, she placed 5th in the Connemara in hand class and trailered down and back 8 hours without a peep. Now she is back to work on her dresage skills, and regular hacking where her big walk puts her out front which is the way she likes it. This fall she will start her jumping career.

In August 2008 Breeze continued her winning ways at the Region 1 ACPS Show in Woodstock VT where she received both the Champion Connemara Mare in Hand and the Grand Champion Connemara in Hand tropies.
