How Can you Trace your Pony's background in Ireland

[denisel]

Our pony was imported into the UK from Auction in August 2007. He came with full vetting and passport along with 15 Irish Show Jumping Points which I believe amounts to £37.50 in uk terms.

Do you know if there is anyway that you can trace your ponies background. I would love to know.

He is classed as a Irish Sports Horse but we have been told time and time again that he is a Conemara.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

the SJAI website is useful for looking at their record. Thius may also tell you previous riders/owners?

Thank you, I have just sent them an email.

He's so gorgeous, I would just love to know his background.

what was his name?

 

[denisel]

His name: An Currach Mor Piobar.

I have traced him on the SJ website and have discovered that he actually has 24 points not the 15 stated on his passport - not sure what that now means for us in affiliated terms.

His rider was: Rhona Liddy from Westmeath Pony Club. I think her home town is Curraghmore, Mullinger Co. Westmeath. The owner was Michael Liddy.

He was jumping 148cm height with her - can that be right - that seems extremely high?? I mean dont get me wrong - he really can jump but 148!!!

I have emailed the pony club to see if they will forward my email to Rhona - I really want to trace her as would love to speak to her about our gorgeous pony.

If you have any ideas though or have heard of him - please shout.

Go into www.sjai.ie and you can do an online search for him

lol, 148 means height of the pony! it would have been 148D and CD probably approx 95cm and 1.05cm

 

[denisel]

What a dumbo - I thought that but then when you clicked on the competition details it said Fence Height 148cm. Which I guess does mean height suitable for a pony.

Yes it says 148d 148CD 148D American Style.

Honestly, please forgive me, I am a bit naive in this horsey business.

I'm sure the 148 is the fence height.

akelly-definitely not :S
the pony will be measured in as under 148cm

I've cut and pasted this from one of the ponies comps and check out the fence height:
