Hollymead Farm would like to introduce Loughrea's Seamus, a 14 hand, 5 year old approved purebred Connemara stallion.  He was bred and raised by Cynthia Sisto who comes from a family that has been breeding Connemara ponies in Fabius, NY for over 50 years. Cynthia owned both Seamus's dam and grand dam and felt this young stallion was special and deserved to be kept as a stallion. After having him on our farm for two days we have to agree that Seamus is more than special. He is a gentleman to handle and a true athlete. His sire is Greystone Adirondack A'Herne, a champion driving pony and an approved Connemara pony as well as an approved German Riding Pony. Seamus's dam, Loughrea's Lioch, is an appoved Connemara mare by Chiltern Colm. Please visit our Stallion page to see more pictures of Seamus.

Hollymead Farm, established in 2005, is located in the foothills region of North Carolina. The climate and rolling hills are ideal for riding and raising young horses. We are always happy to have visitors. Please contact us for directions if you are in the area and would like to stop by.

We are dedicated to breeding safe, sane and sound Irish Draught horses and Connemara ponies. Our mares are from performance bloodlines and serve as family riding horses and broodmares. They are quiet to handle and easily ridden by novice riders, yet possess the athleticism to participate in a variety of disciplines.

Our horses are maintained on pasture as much as possible. The fields are soil tested, fertilized and reseeded on a regular basis to provide a healthy natural grass diet for the mares and foals. We supplement the pasture with a high quality mineral supplement to meet nutritional needs. Natural diet, combined with the physical conditioning the hills provide, give our foals a good start in life.

Please visit our "Foals and Young Stock" page to see more pictures of the foals.
