Michael Gleeson said: “We are huge fans of the stallion and we think he is an outstanding individual. “He also comes from a good home in Stanley Lodge; we had a good result with a Master Artisan we bought them back last year (buy for €50,000, resell for 140,000 guineas).
“We’ve had a great year in business so we’ll be trying to do the same in 2022, and this pony is one of the products to look forward to bringing back next year. “

“He’s a lovely pony,” Kennedy said of the pony Camelot. “It moves very well and is very popular here, so we are delighted for the owner. The mare wasn’t with us but we had the whole family when we bought the Paraphernalia and bred them all. Even her ponies We know the pedigree inside and out.
“He’s a bigger role model than the rest of the family because they’re generally a bit like the Dalakhani, light and a bit narrow. They’re both very good runners despite having good minds and are both very good in physique, form. , and limbs.”
