Ruby and Pippa Return Home to Kylemore Abbey
Thursday, 01 October 2026
We were delighted to welcome Park Ruby and Peaceful Pippa back to Kylemore Abbey this week following their summer stay at Áras an Úachtaráin.
The two Connemara ponies enjoyed several months in the grounds of the President's residence before making the journey home to Connemara. During their stay, they became familiar faces on the estate and showcased the beauty and heritage of Ireland's native pony breed.
Now back in Kylemore, Ruby and Pippa are settling into their surroundings once again, and we are delighted to have them home.
We would like to thank President Catherine Connolly and her husband Brian McEnery for hosting Ruby and Pippa over the summer and look forward to seeing the pair enjoy the autumn months here in Kylemore.
Failte abhaile, Ruby and Pippa!
