Reference mares

Kilmanagh Banrion
(gr. 1985 purebred ID, Imp Ireland; King of Diamonds x Kilmanagh Colleen)

Banrion was imported from Ireland by Thady Ryan. She is a beautiful mare with a lovely temperament. Her progeny to date has included a colt who is now in Australia, and a filly, Eireann Grania (by Coalman's Touch) who is also in Australia. Soon after arriving at her new home Grania won Supreme Led Exhibit at an ID&SH inspection day and passed her RID inspection.

De Bink
(1991-2003 TB; Depot x Binkie [Greek God])

De Bink was our foundation broodmare. She had an exceptional temperament and produced stunning foals.

She had three foals for us by Coalman's Touch, including Eyreleigh Tir-Na-Og, Eyreleigh Shenanigan, and Eyreleigh Artemis.

She is pictured at right with Tir Na Nog, October 2001.

Scarteen Regann
(RID; King's County x Kilmanagh Banrion [King of Diamonds])

Regann is a big, upstanding and typically Irish mare. She has a beautiful temperament.

While we leased her she produced Eyreleigh Scarteen, a lovely colt by Coalman's Touch, and Eyreleigh Tullamore, who is in our broodmare band.
