Glendalough Grey (Glandy) 1976-1993

With her filly Colleen by Golden Dan, Meerbusch-Großisselhof 1987

I bought my first Connemara Pony mare nearly 30 years ago. I named her Glendalough Grey and called her “Glandy”, which is now the prefix in all my ponies’ names. At present her daughter Moyra is our foundation mare. This is now the fourth generation.

Glandy was my riding pony for years. As a fourteen year old schoolgirl I sarted riding her and gave up when I got my own children. Glandy´s last foal was born the same year "Glandy´s Pride Moyra" by Grange Surf Sparrow.

Horse race on snow: Dr. Sabine Bachmann with Glandy in 1984.
I was on ski and we won the race! Big fun.
