Tower Hill's Carmody

Tower Hill's Carmody is our foundation mare. She is a 1993 dark dun mare by *Chiltern Copa of Tower Hill out of Tower Hill's Glendalough (*Whitewood Galway Bay). She has a beautiful face, a golden eye, a big motor and stride, and loves to jump.

She has evented at Novice level, done hunter classes, appeared at Equine Affaire in Springfield MA, and been pony clubbed.

For 2010, Carmody has been leased by Julia Latham (left), age 9, of Cadbury Woods Farm in Sanbornton NH. Her mom Elizabeth is an event rider and trainer, and Julia has been looking for a next pony. She came to visit and actually cantered on Carmody on her maiden voyage. So far the reports are good, and we will see them at the Region 1 show.

Tower Hill's Carmody, age 17, came to the 2010 Region 1 Connemara Show with Julia and Elizabeth Latham and stunned us all by winning the Grand Champion in Hand Trophy. She also completed her dressage test and in hand trail with Julia and won both the Walk Trot Equitation and the Walk Trot Pleasure. Great work team!!

TH Carmody's 2009 foal, Presto (below), is by Tre Awain Dobh Mcduff (Tre Awain Ginger Blue x Tre Awain Roisen Dobh). Dobh Mcduff is a black 14.2 hand stallion at Journey's End Farm in New York. He has had many successful performance offspring including Ballywhim Ardan Mor who is an upper level dressage stallion and JEF Sir Lancelot who is competing in eventing the midwest.


In 2008 after being bred Carmody spent the summer at Different Drummer Farm in Candia NH with Jodi Fortier who used to ride her sire Copa. Jodi has a busy children's summer riding camp and kids HJ program and Carmody was in high demand. She takes great care of her riders and they all love her - a great confidence builder.

Carmody is again proving to be a real success and "good at everything" as a pony club pony in her new lease home for 2007 with Libby MacCauley.

 

Tower Hill's Carmody and Libby MacCauley finished the 2007 season with a D2 Pony Club rally, and the Hunter Under Saddle Championship at the Lincoln (MA.) and the Weston/Wayland (MA.) Hunter Jumper shows. Carmody also won the lead line class with Ellie MacCauley up. Carmody and Libby made an appearance at Equine Affaire in the Breed Demo where Carmody was sporting powder blue, Libby's favorite color.

In 2006 she was been leased by Maggie Petersen of Elk Creek Connemaras in Kewadin MI, and they passed their C2 rating.

 

Carmody is happiest when she is being worked and appreciated. We breed her in May, ride her until November, then she foals in April and we get back on.

She has also had five dun foals.
Two fillies are by *Canal Laurinston (Chip), one gelding by Aladdin's Denver, one by Elphin Song Sparrow and the latest colt is by TA Dobh Mcduff. They are all great performers as she is.
