Breeding
His sire, Frederiksminde Hazy Merlin is a Danish imported Class 1 Connemara stallion. His Sire, Hazy Dawn and Dam, Oxenholm Movie Star, together have bred 3 class 1 stallions and 9 class 1 mares who are significantly representing the true traditional Connemara pony. Hazy Dawn was the first pony to ever get the mark 10/10 for type at inspections and in addition to his mating with Merlin’s Dam, Hazy Dawn has Sired a further 9 approved Stallions, there are too many significant names to mention any without naming all.
Lancelots dam, Kippure Kim, a bay registered mare has the most extraordinary rare Connemara bloodlines. Herself she has no record of achievement but the achievements of her parentage as influences on the breed are now legends in books. Her sire, Thunderbay, described as a miracle pony who seemed to fall from the sky he was late to be used and had many years of unknown location, he is a rare but very important line. A direct decendant of Thunderbolt, you wouldn’t need to delve far into record of FEI recognised Connemara ponies to find many of them are representing the Thunderbolt line way back, rarely would it be this close in bloodlines of an approved stallion available in the current market.
