Arbor Lane's Bailey
Dun mare by *Gun Smoke out of Foothills MayBee [M2048 XL] 14.1h gray (by Balmullo's Beacon)

M 3957 XLVIII, born 6/24/06
ACPS inspected and approved

Bred by Marion Caldwell (KY); owned by Martin Pendergrass (IN)
   Full sister to Foothills Marshall

Arbor Lane’s Bailey (*Gunsmoke x Foothills Maybee by Balmullo’s Beacon) is on lease in West Virginia and had a dun filly sired by *The Quietman on April 1st. The filly has been named Windy Isles Folly. She will return in foal to the thoroughbred stallion Triple Twist for a halfbred for next year. Triple Twist is one of the last stallions of the Bonne Nuit dynasty and bloodlines that produced such greats as Gem Twist. Should make for a fantastic eventing halfbred. (July 2011)

Peotone, IL: Shannon Robbins excitedly writes that she has purchased her first Connemara Pony! Shannon says, “First let me explain that I had never heard of the Connemara Pony before coming to Windy Isles Farm. I have had Quarter Horses all my life and until I met this wonderful breed had never looked at any other horse or pony. I was given the privilege of riding the farm’s stallion, *The Quiet Man. After one ride on this magnificent creature I knew I had to have one of his progeny. I purchased "Windy Isles Cisco Kidd" nicknamed "Teddy" from Catherine Prendergast of Windy Isles in July, and have been in love with this breed ever since! Teddy’s dam is Arbor Lane’s Bailey by *Gunsmoke. The time and effort Catherine puts into preserving the true Connemara Pony is amazing; along with her business partner, Seamus Flanagan, they have done a wonderful job of promoting one of Ireland's national treasures. Cindy Cimesa is the trainer of the *Quiet Man and she has done wonderful things with him and, like me, has fallen in love with the Connemara. I hadn't ridden in years and was a little afraid, so she put me on the *Quiet Man! I am so glad she did, I owe him a debt I will never be able to pay. She is also helping me with Teddy, she is a Grand Prix Dressage rider and trainer, and an awesome asset to the Windy Isles Farm Family. I once asked them if everyone knew about the wonderful Connemara, and if they didn't why not? I am so very proud to have a *Quiet Man baby, and tell everyone I have a Connemara Pony and enjoy greatly telling them about this gentle, loving, and truly brilliant pony."

 

Peotone, IL: Jessica Cohen has sent news of her new foal born at Windy Isles Farm in Illinois. “Just had a dun (to stay dun! Finally breaking my streak of greys…) colt foal (sadly haven't broken my colt streak...) born on March 20th sired by *The Quietman (Moy Hazy Cove X Blathin Chonamara [by Cloonisle Cashel]) out of Arbor Lane's Bailey (*Gunsmoke X Foothills Maybee [by Balmullo's Beacon]). He's very fancy and flashy and I'm really happy with him. Still trying to figure out names but that'll come. Pictures are at a day old - weather's been yucky so we've kept him inside since, so no newer photos.” 10-Mar
