KC

KC was given to me along with her dam Gloria about 2 years ago. She came home on a cattle truck as she was 8 years old and had been more or less untouched. being a TB she had been branded early on, but other than saying hello in the paddock that was more or less it.

I haltered her, and taught her to lead, have wormed her regularly, trimmed her front feet, and she now also floats easily, thanks to some lengthy sessions of walking through my walk-through float.

She will be leaving us shortly to take up residence in Nelson, and should be the first mare to carry a foal to our perlino Section A welsh colt Binky (Brecon Bach Paladin).

Of course nothing ever goes exactly to plan, and KC having never had an injury in the time we've had her has managed to wire cut a hind cannon shortly after her move to Nelson was confirmed. This has however meant that she is now quite good about having her hind legs handled, where she has always been pretty awful about it until now.

She will depart from here once she has been scanned as in-foal, and we will be watching with interest to see the level of quality of the foal she produces.
