More on Annie's Family...

Annie is by imported Connemara pony sire *Canal Laurinston (IRE). He has been Supreme Breed Champion on four occasions by four different judges. He is out of Village Laura, who was named Champion Mare at the 1987 Clifden Connemara Pony Show. Village Laura is by Thunderbolt, a very well respected Connemara pony stallion who won the Confined Stallion Clifden Class in 1981. Thunderbolt was a great grandson of Mountain Lad who is one of the Connemara Pony Breeder's Society Native Irish Foundations Sires.

Annie's grandsire is by Foxridge Starlight. He was winner of the 1996 Tooreen Laddie Trophy, the ACPS Hall of Fame Award for Foundation Sires.
