Courten’s

Sinn Féin

Year of birth: 2004, mare

Breeder: A. Countess von Courten, D-82380 Bruggerhof/Bavaria

Name: “Sinn Féin”, after the small but famous party of Irish revolutionist, who never surrender. The real reason of the name-giving was actually a disagreement between a German Connemara Breeder Club and me. They have a different interpretation in publishing details of station-stallions and their results of the stallion entry test. To give in slightly in things I believe in - is not my character. So I quit my membership.

Colour and height: dun, oversize.
