MARES

MEECESIDE GRACIE

Gracie foaled a filly on the 9th March 2007. The foal was very small and weak and had to be bottle fed, than assisted to the udder every few hours for the first few days! Gracie was fantastic! She submitted to being milked and the foal being man-handled up to her without flinching and often without being tied. I was advised to make a coat for the foal and one leg of a pair of waterproof leggings was just the job. After three days of sleepless days and night, the foal got the hang of things and hasn't looked back since.

Progressing in leaps and bounds and her novel rain coat dispensed with!

As you can see, the foal's poor start didn't do her any harm and she was soon racing around the field trying to out-pace her mum and splashing through the puddles like any kid!

Note the zebra stripes on the foal's legs which are peculiar to the breed. These will disappear with age and she will probably be a grey dun.

Glentrowan Belina

  To see a copy of Bell's pedigree, click here.

Belina was bred by Heather Turnbull and is an extremely pretty mare who breeds nice foals. She is the mother of Fergus and Finn. She was served by Lord Barney of Tormore again in 2008.

Mary Mac of Tormore

Although served by Sporrandene of Kildavie in 2007 and 2008 she has returned to Josethdene after tested empty.

Kinkell Breagha

Click here to see a copy of Kinkell Breagha's pedigree. Breagha is a solid, reliable type, a typical of many "east coast" highland ponies built for strength. Before she came to me she was being ridden out daily by an 11 year old boy.

Meeceside Gracie 296/98

Click here to see a copy of Gracie's pedigree. Gracie has a superb temperament and is exactly what a Highland pony should be though I do not claim she would win many shows.  She was served by Highfield Glen Albyn in 2008.

Lagalgarve Mistletoe 2003
