Jacqueline
Harris began the breeding operation at Hideaway Farm in 1956
with legends such as Tooreen Laddie and Erin Bay (both imported
from Ireland). With this dynamic duo she obtained ten outstanding
foals.

explained, "We wanted to keep the good qualities of
wonderful temperament, stamina and jumping ability and emphasize
the attractiveness of head and eye with good movement."

The
Connemara most near and dear to Jacqueline's heart is her
third generation stallion, Hideaway's Erin Go Bragh (a product
of Hideaway's Erin Smithereen and Hideaway's Centerfold).
|
Go
Bragh won the ACPS McKenna Trophy, the Camlin and An Tostal
Trophies. He was AHSA Zone I Champion and at the time of
his retiring from eventing was "The Winningest Stallion
in the History of the USCTA." Trained and ridden by
Carol Kozlowski, Go Bragh was a force to reckon with at
the advanced level in eventing despite, or possibly due
to, his small size of 15.1 hands.

Jacqueline
states: "Go Bragh is kindly, affectionate, very intelligent
and extremely talented. He is serious about his work and anxious
to please. No wonder he make friends wherever he goes. If
a human were to have his qualities, he would be considered
Nature's Nobleman."
