Audlem, Cheshire Not Cats But Horses
Italian Secret
Thoroughbred - won 2 sprint races before she
came to me. Now 30 years old and retired after giving me years of
fun. She had an enormous jump and was an exciting ride across
country. Little Barney Thoroughbred - never raced. Born 1987, so 24
years old, but acts like a 2-year-old. A bit wayward at times and
responsible for my broken leg! Elvis
Thoroughbred - home-bred for racing, but never
left home! A bit quirky like his mum, Tell Me No More, but a
handsome boy.
The Boy
The love of Alan's life,
left a large hole when he died at the early age of 11. He was
home-bred and destined for a sprint career on the racetrack but an
accident as a foal ended that option. He was a handsome, unique
character, and his cruising speed was phenomenal.
Mallow
A very special mare who lived with me for
23 years and had 5 foals. She lived to be 30 years old. We had a
lot of fun together. She was a true cob, but breeding unknown.
Florries Fancy
My first Thoroughbred who
had a huge jump, as seen here (the fence was the blue and white
rails, so you can see the height she was giving it). She went back
to her breeder where she had a few foals for them, including
winners on the flat.
Tamarisk
My second horse, a very
honest and uncomplicated mare. She was a TB/Welsh Cob cross. She
had one habit which was a bit annoying - she would regularly jump
out of her field if the grass was greener on the other side.
The Boy & Just
Tamara The
Boy was Just Tamara's first foal. She ran 3 times on the flat, but
a knee injury ended her promising career. She was loaned to a
breeder for a few years, where she had 3 foals for him. She came
back home where she stayed until she died aged 24. Tango & Twins
Christine's mare. She was a TB/Irish
Draught cross. Her foals had varied careers including showing, showjumping,
working hunter and one police horse. Of the twins above the chestnut colt
did not survive, but the bay filly did and went on to have several foals
for her new owner.
Colony Yvonne with Taintree Dolly Colony Yvonne was a Suffolk Punch. She was a
gentle character and lived to be 24 years old. Seen here with
Taintree Dolly who was a twin, her brother died at birth. Dolly
died young as a result of problems associated with being a twin. RIP
Taintree Dolly 2001 - 2006
