MINSMERE SUNSEEKER has all the attributes of a star stallion, he is an exceptionally well bred Connemara with very good bloodlines on both sides of his pedigree. He is by Tiercel Woodman out of Minsemere Sundew and his breeding goes back to the outstanding Leam Bobby Finn, Carna Bobby and Wisbridge Golden Rebel. Although only lightly shown in his life, the results speak for themselves, first time out, as a 2 year old, he won the youngstock Connemara class at Ponies UK and then stood reserve Champion. He was also third at the Connemara Breed Show in the 2 and 3 year old Stallion Class.

Then as a four year old at the East Anglia Native Show, having won the Connemara stallion class, he was then breed Champion and also Champion of all Mountain and Moorlands, gaining qualification for the Royal International Horse Show, where he then went on to win the Large Mountain and Moorland class.

As a five year old, his first outing was at the BSPS Championships where he qualified for the Mixed Novice Mountain and Moorland  Heritage class at Stoneleigh.  He won his first ridden class as a four year old and has won or been placed every time out under saddle.

 

He has proved an ideal match not only for pure bred Connemaras but also other breeds of ponies and small horses including thoroughbreds and has produced a number of exceptionally good part bred foals, which are taking Championships in Hunter classes.  His excellent temperament, conformation and lovely paces make him a good choice for these purposes.  His youngstock inherit his good looks and movement and are now winning in hand and under saddle and are showing amazing jumping ability.  Some of his foals out of larger mares are winning in hand hunter classes.  They are all proving easy to break.
