Clifden winner x5 times! Bred by Emer Fitzpatrick in Irishtown, Westmeath, Irishtown Beauty lived with the Sweeney family in Bunowen, Ballyconneely Co. Galway for sixteen years before she passsed away quietly in her field in February ’09. Once arrived at the showgrounds Beauty stepped out like the prize pony she was, presence personified, to parade around the ring with arched neck and head held proudly to accept yet another trophy for the Sweeney family. She was backed for riding but breeding was her main job and many of her ten progeny are showring winners or have been sold abroad. Her record of Showing successes reads like a long litany.They included the Supreme Championships at Galway County in ‘97 and later in that year she continued her winning ways in Dublin to take her mare Class and the RDS Supreme Connemara Championship. The Claddaghduff Championship came her way twice: at Roundfort and Corrandulla in ‘05 she scored again and carried off a Ballyconneely hat-trick by taking the top honours there three times.
