Our primary interest is breeding the
traditional Irish Draught, and these two mares are our starting
points. Click on the mare's piccture to see her pedigree,

Rosie came to us in foal to Alice's Diamond Slipper.
Unfortunately, she lost her colt foal at about 320 days. She gave
us a lovely grey filly in 2004
- details here.
She's pictured
above with her 2005 colt at just a few days old - he was a whopper -
more here. And
in 2006 - another BIG colt! More
here Northwood
Rose is a Hornby Select mare.

In 2003, Little Macha had a surprise for us. She had been served by Alice's Diamond Slipper but had
scanned empty. See here.
In 2004, it was no
surprise. Another filly - see here
And in 2005, yet another
filly - see here
Another 'surprise' in 2006
- she produced a super colt! See Prince here.

Towards the end of 2004, we started looking for one or
two new RID mares to join our small herd. These two, mother and
daughter, advertised on
the Irish Draught Horse Society (Ireland) caught our eye. After a
lot of agonising and a full vetting, they were booked to travel in January
2005.
Their trip was delayed for a week because of
persistent high winds but they were looked after in 5 star comfort by our
transporter, Charles Cunningham, who e-mailed daily reports (and
pictures).
