Neighbors!

We're very lucky in the Central NY area to have some great horses.  Two of our neighbors are also showing here at WEG.  Both of them have Connemaras and are part of the Irish Village.

Cindy Fletcher and Hidden Meadow Farm presented Greystone's Adirondack A'Herne in harness.  In 2006 he was entered in his first driven dressage class at the Preliminary Level and won with a score of 69+ %. Harry and Cindy have also competed and won at the Lorenzo and Walnut Hill Driving Competitions. In fact, in 2008 “Harry” was the Reserve Champion Large Pony at Walnut Hill. For those who do not know, Walnut Hill is THE largest pleasure driving competition in North America. In 2007, at the urging of the German inspector, Harry was presented and approved as a German Riding Pony Stallion (the FIRST “US” born and bred stallion to receive such approval). Typically stallions are required to go through the 100 day testing; however, because Harry had such an impressive show record and driven dressage scores, he only needed to be inspected.

Tricreek Greystone Riley is an eight year old stallion by Greystone McErrill out of Cornerstone Arianna. Among other things, he is a Trail Class star! He won the Beryl Eddy Memorial Trophy at the Woodstock, Vermont Region 1 Connemara Show in both 2007 and 2009. He will go through or around almost anything, including a paint ball gun being fired at a metal sign, walking over a metal plank and pushing plastic barrels out of his way. He was Reserve Champion at the Oneida County Mounted Police Unit Trail Trial in 2009. He also competes in dressage, eventing, and hunter competitions, almost always with his brother, Tricreek Greystone Connor, with whom he exchanges first and second place regularly.

Here is a video of their first demo at WEG.
