 WELCOME TO 2011. All the signs are it will not be an easy year for any of us. Pony breeding programmes and long journeys to compete at shows
will be in need of review.
Happily circumstances do not restrict "reading". I hope you will continue to find value in the series of books I have published and that you will support my intention to write one further book.
It's purpose is to pay tribute to Michael O'Malley and his historic journey to Olympia from deepest Connemara in 1912. In June 2012 we will celebrate the Centenary of this event. (see pages 95 - 103 in Shrouded in Mist) I have many unpublished records, photographs, and memories to share with readers. Wish me luck. Pat.
