Murphy Rebel’s progeny are too numerous to list but he is known to have bred three Clifden Supreme Champions for Bobby Bolger of Derrygimbla near Ballyconneely who actually took the Supreme 5 times with these ponies. Murphy Rebel’s son Coral Prince out of Snowdrop Surprise was the first to take the Supreme Clifden Championship in 1993. The following year’s Supreme was Queen Gillian, this time a daughter of Murphy Rebel and Gillian. 1995 saw the Murphy Rebel mare Coral Misty out of Gurteen Misty take the Supreme, a feat which she repeated in 1997. And in 1999, Queen Gillian came to the fore again and won the Supreme for a 2nd time.
A wonderful progeny record for this prolific and popular stallion. Murphy Rebel was lightly shown himself but he seldom went to Clifden and never actually won a first there, taking a 2nd in ’82 and a 3rd in the confined stallion class on another occasion. His wins were elsewhere. He took Championships at Westport, Ballinalee, Galway and other major Connemara pony Shows but it was as a sire that he left his greatest legacy.
