Horse news

Impy has done it. She has now produced her first skewbald foal. A beautiful filly Miserden Impulse. This was followed by Amy getting in foal to Masterpiece, so we hope for a near TB from her next year. (Not a racehorse, but maybe the following year.) At the end of June Dash, without any warning again, produced a spectacular almost white foal. Although not as striking in colour as his older brother Hidalgo, this colt, Miserden Snow Patrol is going to make a very striking horse. His movement and elevation are tremendous, (not for a photograph of course, but I’ll keep trying.)

Both foals are for sale to go at weaning as we have rather a lot of youngstock around at the moment.

Miserden Radetsky won the overall Sports Horse championship at Devon county show. A tremendous achievement, especially for a coloured horse. He also qualified for the Brightwells Young Sports Horse class at the coloured championships at Keysoe and is being prepared by John Mastin and Wendy Bartlett for that occasion.
