This spring Kinsale Farms welcomed two new additions to our herd. Kinsale's Bonnie Las, an Irish Draught filly and Kinsale's Rebel Las, an Irish Sport horse filly. Both babies are beautiful and healthy. During these hot summer days they are fun to watch as they grow into their sweet and playful personalities.

Angus attended his first under saddle dressage show and not only brought home two blue ribbons for each of his tests, but also captured the high point award for the show with a fantastic score of 77%! To say we are incredibly proud of him would be an understatement, and we can't wait to see what the next show brings. Check out Angus' photo page to see more of him undersaddle.
