Pony Profiles: Erin Casco Bay

Puffing up to look much bigger than his 15.1 hands, Erin Casco Bay competed in dressage to Prix St. Georges level. A superb mover he also noticed every little thing, including subtle signals from his rider. These traits indicated a dressage career as did his heredity as both his sire, Hideaway’s Erin Smithereen and his dam’s sire, Far Above Ballingarry Bay, were outstanding movers and competitors.

A true Connemara , Casco was very kind and sensible giving pony rides to children at the Sunday School picnics. He was an easy keeper and held up well under the demands of collection at F.E.I. levels coupled with a great deal of travel.
