And now for the girls....

Well it's all very well having a stallion but then you need some broodmares!!!

Well firstly we have on breeding loan for this year "Kofi" she is in foal to John Dunlops young jumping stallion "Marco" and due on the 25th of July.

Yes a bit of a late foal (though with this years weather....!!!) but last year Kofi decided to join the "true love waits" camp and refused to come into season. A small chat in her ear about being "got fit and hunted hard" and voila she was in season and down to Dorrnock for a quick holiday!! Kofi is to be covered by Exbury Ghost before leaving us at weaning. She is a good big mare, dark brown by the piebald jumping stallion Elew out of a NH mare by Oats.











This picture shows her on a hunt ride as a gangly three year old - just backed!!

The next broodmare we have is "Shesa Perfect Zippo" an imported Quarter Horse mare from Texas. By the absolute star stallion "Perfect Execution" - http://www.perfectexecution.com/

Known at home as "Ruby" she is a beautiful bay five year old. She has a super temperment and has been ridden English and Western to date. I'm very excited to see what this little mare produces!!



Then we have four Thoroughbred fillies that we have owned since they were weanlings. They are all super to handle, real characters.

Firstly "Bridget" - the biggest of the three year olds - a good 16.2. By Roi de Rome out of a five times winning mare. Only joining the broodmare band for a year as Mark has her earmarked for greater things!!



Then we have "Mable" a chestnut three year old by Perriston View out of Senobar and "Daisy" by Warrningford out of Golden Shot



And last but not least we have "Tammy" a bay filly by Mind Games out of Timoko. This filly thinks she's "people" if her foals have half the personality she does they will make their new owners friends for life!!
