LANBURN CONNEMARAS - Key Persons

Jim Lee's price was £200 delivered to Dublin and he gave us four weeks to think about it. We were shocked when we found out the cost of transport. Jim said he would give us 'Luck Money' towards half the cost of the transport and so we purchased our first Connemara, Nettina (Marble x Fort Nancy), who died on the 22nd August 2001, ending an era of thirty years. When she was 4 we put Tina in foal and at the same time registered our Prefix LANBURN. The Foal born was a colt Lanburn Leemoy named after the LEE family at MOYcullen. Leemoy was a very rich Bay who went on to win over twenty championships including:- Champion Mountain and Moorland Stallion at the NPS in 1981, Best opposite sex at the English Connemara Pony Show in 1978, 1979 and 1981. Lanburn Leemoy passed away in March 2006 aged 31 years. Tina participated in three of John Lassetter's Dressage pantomime's. John, I think, had a special fondness for her cheeky character. Margaret died in 1998 (seen in photo 1989 with myself, the late Graham Tullock and Loobeen Larry). The stud is now managed by myself and my daughter Pam Clingan. As a Connemara Judge I was honoured to be invited to judge Clifden Show twice, 1994 and the Millennium Show in 2000.
