The halfbred son of Thoroughbred Little Heaven and a Connemara mare is considered by some as the top show jumper of the 1900s — yes, the whole century.

The Connemara stallion, an import from Ireland, was the most popular Connemara sire in the United States from the mid-1950s through the mid-1970s. He sired 99 foals, including Lynfields Kiltuck and Kerrymor’s Autumn Hope.

Mary Astle, onetime owner of Lynfields Farm, sent Kerrymor Farm these photos of Lynfields Kylemore in 2005 for an ACPS broodmare award nomination (we put it together for someone else). Given the lack of photos of Kylemore online, we thought we’d publish these here.  

The McKennas videotaped several horses at the Region 1 show in 1981, including Chiltern Copa of Tower Hill. This is all the footage of Copa that we have.

The gray stallion (1988, out of Claiborne’s Dulty by Kerrymor Finbarr) stood at Star-One Farm in Gambier, Ohio. He also competed in eventing and other disciplines.
