SIRE: Danish-bred Munkholm Cobbergate
(Ardnasillagh O'Flaherty x Oxenholm Cora) is licensed
in Denmark and Germany. Inspected in Denmark in
1988 as a four-year-old, he received the following
scores on a scale from one to 10 to earn a Karet:
Type 8; Body 8; Limbs 8; Movement 9; Overall
Impression 8.

The inspectors' comments were: "Typical
well-balanced Connemara pony stallion. Well put-on
but somewhat heavy neck. Good depth, width, ribs
and body. Very good movement."

Cobbergate was named Best in Show at the end of
the '88 inspection. Later that year he passed
Denmark's mandatory performance test.

Here is a very brief look at Cobbergate's long and
successful sports career in Denmark and Germany:
*Smaragaid Cliff: A Champion Connemara
Stallion from Champion European Lines
Dam: German-bred Shamrock Bright
Roxanne
(Power Boy x Bright Pearl) has an
extensive, successful in-hand show record.

Roxanne won the Elite Mare Show in Aachen as a
three year old, earning the designation of Federal
Premium Mare. She was named Champion
Connemara Mare at the Aachen Pony Festival
again in 1999. Like her progeny, *Smaragaid Cliff
and Smaragaid Bright Hanny, Roxanne won the
golden medal at the Wickrath Breed Show as a
foal. Another son, Hazy Shamrock, earned a silver
medal and later his German stallion license.

To date, all five of Roxanne's foals have earned
the designation of premium foal. All are by
different sires, demonstrating Roxanne's
unwavering ability to pass her quality onto her
foals.

Her '06 filly, Smaragaid Bright Hanny, has earned
her designation as a German Federal Premium
Mare, making her the third generation in this
strong line to receive the honor.

Roxanne's '03 colt, *Smaragaid Cliff, has earned
his designation as a Premium Stallion from the
American Connemara Pony Society.
