Kynynmont Erin Margret, fondly known around the farm as Molly, is a 2014, 14.3H purebred Connemara Pony bred by the late Pam Liddell of Kynynmont Connemaras. This beautiful buckskin has striking golden dapples in the summer, with dark accents and one hind sock. While Molly showed to be highly trainable, her riding career was cut short after an unfortunate pasture incident (2018). Molly came to us ready for her next chapter as a promising broodmare, and she knocked it out of the park with her first purebred foal by Greystone Adirondack A’Herne, “Elhanan’s Belle Aurore”. Molly is currently in foal to *Glenormiston Cuchulainn for 2025 foal.
Molly is by the Imported Champion German Connemara Pony stallion *Smaragaid Cliff, by the Danish dressage champion Munkholm Cobbergate (Ardnasillagh O'Flaherty x Oxenholm Cora) out of the German Federal Premium Mare Shamrock Bright Roxanne (Power Boy x Bright Pearl). He was bred by Martina Ferfers of Smaragaid Connemaras in Germany. You can see even more pictures of Cliff and his extraordinary family by visiting Smaragaid Connemaras. “Smaragaid” is Irish for emerald.
*Smaragaid Cliff has been inspected and approved by the American Connemara Pony Society and earned the honor of being named a Premium Stallion, the ACPS's top designation for inspected ponies. Cliff brings new, exceptional bloodlines to the U.S., offering well-known and respected European Connemara Ponies close up on both sides of his pedigree, including multiple Danish Elite mares, Danish Elite stallions and German Federal Premium mares as well as champion Danish dressage stallions. Cliff is a third generation dressage champion; his sire and grandsire were both FEI Pony Dressage Medalists. As a USEF Leading Sire in Dressage, Eventing and Dressage Breeding, Cliff's progeny proves that he successfully passes on his own award-winning ways and those of his famous ancestors.
According to a 2013 report by the Connemara Pony Breeders Society in Ireland, Cliff is among the best possible out-cross stallions for mare owners. To quote the report: "Many of these rare line stallions are free of Abbeyleix Owen, Mervyn Kingsmill, Hazy Dawn and Ashfield Sparrow. Consequently, they and some of their daughters are ideal for developing outcross stallions for breeding with the large numbers of mares from overused stallions." Cliff's grandfather, Ardnasillagh O'Flaherty, is listed in the report as a rare line stallion. Cliff also has none of these 'overused stallions' anywhere in his pedigree.

Cliff is 14.3 hands with 9 inches on bone, inspected Premium by the American Connemara Pony Society for his exceptional conformation, movement, temperament and type. Cliff is a joy with a temperament that is kind, tractable, brave and happy. Named a USEF Leading Dressage Breeding Sire (top ranked Connemara), USEF Leading Eventing Sire, USEF Leading Dressage Sire (top ranked Connemara) and USEF Dressage HOTY. Cliff was the 2007 USDF Breeders' Championship Reserve Grand Champion Stallion Rocky Mountain Series Final and has multiple USDF All-Breed Championships. Cliff produces In-Hand Champions, balanced dressage gaits and Dressage Champions with the conformation to jump and Champion Eventers. Awarded Two ACPS Gold Medallion Lifetime Achievement Awards for In-Hand and Dressage.
Molly’ dam is a beautiful purebred Connemara broodmare, Kynynmont Moira (Ballywhim Sterling Moss x Greystone Erin Moireen), who reliably produces very kind, very trainable, very sensible youngsters. Pam Lydell’s beloved mare passes on her lovely disposition and trainability to her offspring. Before becoming a full-time broodmare, Pam and Moira had a lot of success in dressage competitions together! Most notably Moira foaled the purebred breeding stallion Kynynmont Cooper O’Grady, who has shown successfully through Intermediare I and is schooling Grand Prix movements. Cooper was the 2013 ACPS Connemara of the Year and 2023 Hall of Fame An Tostal Winner, an award for recognition of a career of outstanding achievement, both competitive and noncompetitive, of a purebred Connemara stallion.
