I wonder if that’s the same pony that Annie Burnes leased out back in the early '90’s?

also:

“Glenmores Heart of Gold- Anne Hampton”
Was that a grey (looks white) mare? If so, the Dales owned her way back when, and I used to ride her to keep her in shape - she was the most push buttoned thing I have ever sat on.

Let’s see who else do I know…

Shiloh’s Kool Kat - Victoria Free

Hmm, I’ll have to think up some more…[/QUOTE]

I rode Glenmore Sally a few times at Belcort when I was riding with Debbie She was a really cool pony! It would have been about 1992 I believe. Not sure if that helps any.

My FAVORITE was Brownlands Cameo (Susan Linton). HE was so cute the way he galloped around. If im not mistaken he won a national title in the green’s. I cannot remember who had him after Susan though.

Also, Brownlands First Light was great! He was down here in South Florida for a while with a couple of riders and I think Neely Bates had him too.

hey - How about all the Brownland ponies??[/QUOTE]

#43

Hey Sunny, how funny you mentioned Glenmore’s Pure Silver. I owned him for several years. How do you know him?

I also had Brownland’s Sincere. A wonderful pony, still showing in Maryland.

How about Highfield’s ponies. I had Highfield’s Fancy That. Sweet mare.

#44

Brownlands Trick or Treat was very cute to watch go around.

#45

Hi Stars,
I used to show back in the late 70’s and all through the 80’s, and I am also an avid collector of The Chronicle of the Horse. I have most issues dating back form the 70’s. Glenmores Pure Silver won a lot back in the day. I also do remember Brownlands Sincere as well.

glenmore devonshire cream - unsure of all the original people, but remember when maggie rode her

glenmore alphabet - nina coolidge had him, then emily haigney, and he ended with the hagood family

i love farnley dolphin:)

#47

HOw about Glenmores Best Shot. I remember Havens riding him and also Heather Rosiak. And also Genmore Mocha in the mediums. Ruthanne Mealey had her. I also remember a small pony, Farnley Marengo and Farnley Private Eye that Nadine Higley owned and Kelley Farmer rode for a while. Another small was Farnley Colorado

#48

The Hackmann’s had Devonshire Cream for a long time and they might still. They owned her the year Maggie had the ride on her.

[QUOTE=Sunny14;3372999]
Does anyone remember the Bittersweet ponies. I used to love,love, love both Bittersweet Shall We Dance and Bittersweet Fancy Dress. Shall We Dance was a grey medium and was one of the nicest movers around. I cannot remember who had him later on down the road though.[/QUOTE]

I LOVED Bittersweet Shall We Dance too. Chelsea Penzone had him in the early 1990s.

How about Farnley Rutile? Stephen Comunale had him and didn’t Caroline Willard too?

Glenmore Pinkie was a cutie.

#50

He got re-carded as a large in the pony controversy & I don’t know after that where he went. I know he was from Ohio & Chelsea had him then (this was 1990-1991).

Betty didn’t breed Hearts of Fire, Barbara Camp did. She was the original breeder of the Glenmores.[/QUOTE]

I worked for Barbara & Clay Camp in the very early 80’s when the Glenmore pony line was fast becoming one of the top lines in the industry.

Does anyone remember Barbara’s two great broodmares: Funny Girl and Glenmore Storm Cloud? Funny Girl was bred to many great stallions, one of which was Coed Coch Benmore. That result was the great large pony mare Glenmore Funny Bunny who pretty much dominated the field while up against other great ponies such as Aaratoia, Desiree’, Random Chance, and Hawkeye, to name a few. Storm Cloud was also bred to some great stallions but one that stood out was Barbara’s Dartmore stallion Forge Nimbus. That result was the large pony Glenmore Northeaster who won a lot in the Children’s Pony Htrs, but then went on to become a national junior eventing champion.

Breeder’s like Barbara are few and far between and the Glenmore line is pretty much ‘dead’ in the ring now. What happened???

#52

Farnley Rutile…yes I do believe Caroline had him too…gosh that was ages ago!!! Fun times!!

#53

What happened? The vision changed. Barbara liked the imports very much and the crosses she came up with stopped once she stopped breeding and farmed out her ponies.

Funny Girl was very temperamental and difficult to ride (too hot, too fast). Unfortunately that was passed on to her foals.

#54

Randee-- what is the distinction of the spelling of Glenmore? I have seen it spelled Glenmure also? The same or another line? Or just a mis=spelling? Glenmure Liberty Bell? He was a BRP–wasnt he?
Were most of her imports BRP?

Glenmure was the prefix for the ponies that Barbara bred in the UK and then imported as youngsters. She owned or leased mares that remained in England (at RoseVean stud) and she’d breed them and then bring over their foals. I belive one reason she did this was because at the time there was restrictions on importing stallions over a certain age to the US - she did own another Coed Coch stallion that remained in the UK, he was too old to bring to the US after she bought him. Also to get the bloodlines she liked, breeding over there was easier.

So Glenmure Liberty Bell was born in the UK and then imported around a year old. There are other ponies with the Glenmure prefix too (Pennant, Eagles Song, Mariner), though some wound up getting their prefix changed to Glenmore once they hit the show ring.

#56

Glenmure is no connection to the Glenmore prefix that was registered in the 1970s. I’ve seen it also. Liberty Bell was imported in the early 1980s ('83???). There is a Glenmure prefix registered in the UK, so she may have imported something with the prefix already intact.

Her imported ponies were British Riding Ponies and she had several that were outstanding imports.

#57

Glenmore Best Shot, mentioned here twice before, was also ridden by Keri Kampsen. IIRC, she was an outstanding medium that, following the measurement uproar at indoors, became an outstanding large!

#58

We have a Bittersweet pony at my trainers right now, not sure how old he is, must be around 20 by now. His show name was Bittersweet Spit N’ Polish (or very close to that). He was an AMAZING large, so gorgeous. Quite a grumpy old man, but gorgeous non-the- less, lol.

We leased Glenmore Spook -years ago–back when my 22 yr old was still on a medium… I had to chuckle and then laugh as when I read this- I wondered & went to look to see if Funny Girl was her dam…as Spook was temperamental and had an unforgiving stop a bit too often. Funny Girl was not the dam. Spook was very fancy and if she was in the mood-- she and daughter could lay down an unbeatable trip.

Also had one here in recent years --that was by Glenmure Liberty Bell.
She was very very temperamental and was a fruitcake to ride. Do not know her dam. She came out of Florida though. Very beautiful and correct though and quite a mover. But pretty is as pretty does.
