Tempest was bred in Ireland by the Curran family, and was purchased by us as a foal. His pedigree includes many of Ireland's most prolific Connemara performance stallions. His sire, Coosheen Stormboy, is a grandson of the world renowned Ashfield Bobby Sparrow, who won individual gold at the Pony European Showjumping Championships in 1980 (the first Connemara stallion ever to do so). Coosheen Stormboy has sired many successful international performance ponies, including Aoife's Star and Laburnum Ineer, who have both represented Ireland at the Pony European Eventing Championships in recent years. In the showjumping world, his son Cappagh Lad is successfully competing at 1.30m level. Tempest's nine-year-old full brother, Glencarrig Dolphin, has been hugely successful in his first season of FEI Pony Trials in the UK, ridden by his 12-year-old jockey. Tempest's dam Mountross Colleen has numerous show ring titles to her name. Her sire, Coral Star, was a son of the Grade A jumping pony Cuchulain, who also won the stallion class at Clifden in 1986. Tempest has all the right attributes to follow in their footsteps, with his athleticism, scope and trainability.
