Ganymede
Dam of 2013 Nicolette’s retained Chestnut mare, Fortune Cookie, by Concerto Grosso via embryo transfer
Bred in Pennsylvania, by Nicole Estep
Ballywhim An Luan is a half brother (same sire) to Landgate Bluebeard, which is also why we love Bluebeard so much.
GANYMEDE was produced to the Intermediate level by Nicolette from 2009 - 2012. She was awarded USEF Reserve Champion Halfbred Connemara in Eventing twice.
She was presented to the ISR in the Sport Pony division, and was awarded a score of 108. She completed her Mare Performance Test with a score of 73, and was the 3rd highest scoring ISR mare in the country in 2013. Daughter, Fortune Cookie, was a premium foal.
Ganymede spent one year (Sept 2013 - August 2014) leased out to Adrian Jones, where she competed in TEN Preliminary events and TWO CCI**s in 6 months.
She was sold to 10 year old Meg Pellegrini in May 2015, and they have been unstoppable ever since.
Among many other awards and accomplishments, Ganymede has been awarded the Theodore O’Connor Trophy for USEA Pony of the Year TWICE - in 2017 and in 2019.
She has a second daughter via embryo transfer, Callisto, by Coronado (by William Fox-Pitt’s 5* mount Chilli Morning, out of a 5* mare).
