STUD NEWS - TALSARN PONY STUD

2009 foaling for Talsarn pony stud has gone well, with three WMP foals by young sire Talsarn Thomas. Two very nice colts arrived out of Talsarn Blueberry and Lenson Park Desere which should make extremely good future geldings - although the temptation is there to leave at least one of them entire! After very bad luck the last couple of years in the filly department, the old mare Loch Sloy Divinity produced a little lady, which will be retained.

Old "Divvy" had a difficult year in 2009 - diagnosed with Cushings syndrome when her last foal was 4 months old she had quite a battle at times, including an operation, and many times did I wonder if it was worth it. But through it all she remained infoal, and a good filly foal is our reward - so she is now retired and well and living a happy life raising her baby. Also her son Talsarn Blueprint has been tried over a couple of mares this season so there may be grandchildren in Spring!
