In May 2013 we welcomed french Dales mare Concoret Louise, owned by Bruno Bovet, to the stud, to be covered by our black Dales stallion Wilf (Thornville Pride).
Louise is an experienced broodmare who has bred 9 foals in the past, so after an initial covering inhand, we were happy for the two ponies to run together and mating to take place naturally :
Mating was successful, and we are delighted that Louise scanned in-foal with a single embryo. Her baby is expected in May 2014.
An added bonus to this story is that Louise's owner Bruno has become a very dear friend, and I now have the benefit of a very patient, unpaid, retired headmaster to correct my frequent errors with the French language!!!
Lucky Louise. xx
