TO MEET
HARLEQUIN FARM'S
"HALCYON"
NEWS
We are proud to announce, that our Halcyon took part in the 118th Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, on January 1st. 2007.
She was probably one of the youngest horses to have ever been ridden in the Parade. She did us proud and behaved as well as any seasoned parade horse.

The lead horses were Dinah of BFS, with Chris riding.
Next to her, Mary Lou in the blue dress, riding Miss Miniver.
2nd row. Steph riding Halcyon and next to her, Christie on Eddie.
Bringing up the rear was Kim riding BabyDoll and Jeff riding Rom Baro.

Well done all.

Shown here at just a year old
and while still in England, she's a bit muddy,
but I think you can see she is a lovely filly.

PLEASE NOTE
If you are viewing this page on a wide screen monitor, all pictures might
appear wider and the horses etc. will be stretched, and unfortunately appear
a lot longer in body than they are. Setting your screen resolution to 1280 x 720 pixels
will probably correct the problem.

A NOTE REGARDING GYPSY HORSE PEDIGREES.
As with all pedigrees of the past, most of what was known about the background
of a given horse, was by word of mouth from breeder to seller and more often,
passed down through members of the same family for generations.
Although we in our family, do a tremendous amount of research, as to the
background of our own horses and those of others in the breed, unless DNA
can be verified, our knowledge of the background of any horses imported
into this country, always comes to us from current breeders and old-timers
in the breed, with whom we have spoken personally.
While we try our very best, to give correct pedigrees, from time to time,
as our research continues, we sometimes have to change things.
As horses in the UK changed hands over the years, they were often given different
names, which makes it even more difficult for the pedigree researcher.
Mares were seldom named at all.
All pedigrees of horses on our site, are correct to the very best of our knowledge
at the time of writing. However, since many in the breed have passed on and DNA
is no longer available, we can only go by our current information.
As always, absolute pedigree confirmation, is a constant work in progress.
Our thanks to Albert Coates, Sydney Harker, Jerry Conners and Tom Conners
and George Harrison, for much of the information, contained in this and other
pedigrees of our horses.
And a special thanks to Dierdre Cash, who kindly interviewed Harry Conners and other members of the Conners family, to ask what they remembered of the Gypsy Horses of yesteryear.

Halcyon, Heather and Robyn (below), were the only three mares ever produced
from this sire and dam, before Luke Conners Died.
If you happen to own Heather or know who does,
we'd love to hear from you.

Here she is on her way to Appleby Fair.
Just look at that action!
