Elk Creek O'Connor
Here's Connor and Boots finishing their first Hunter Pace together after lots of practice crossing streams.
Elk Creek O Connor, now 3, has moved to Greenville SC with his new owner Susan "Boots" Plyler. She has been looking for a Connemara for her lifetime horse. She and her two daughters are avid riders, and hunter pace alternate weekends all winter long. So Connor will have lots of big adventures there. He trailered well to Lancaster PA where she picked him up and the next day he was south of the Mason Dixon line where he may not need that warm winter coat. She promises regular updates.

Elk Creek O'Connor (Elphin Song Sparrow x Tower Hill's Carmody) has arrived in NH. He made the 1000 mile road trip from Kewadin Michigan without batting an eyelash (first time off the farm) despite hour long traffic jams and blinding/deafening hail and rain storms!

Connor will be at Sunrise Bay Farm for the month of July getting started on round pen work, bitting him up and long lining, etc. He is a beautiful golden buckskin with a nice topline, broad chest, short cannon bones and sloping shoulder, floating trot, and great feet. Connor comes wth a reputation for jumping over stall doors, so there will be more orthodox jumping in his future as well. |

Connor's sire, Elphin Song Sparrow, is a gorgeous bay stallion, now gelded, by Maplehurst Michael Macdaire, out of *Scottsway Lullaby.
Song Sparrow had one purebred foal before he left Elphin Mountain Connemaras, and Connor is his only other. He also has a number of halfbred offspring. Below: Connor's paternal grandsire, Maplehurst Michael MacDaire and granddam *Scottsway Lullaby. |
