Tempest
Trojan Warrier - Icon's first foal
Photo
and movie taken at 2 weeks old. The Arab Horse Society Premium Scheme has assisted
greatly in my breeding programme as I am on my second generation using AHS Premium
stallions. Icon's first foal has been bred on the scheme.
Palomino
colt DOB 11/5/06
Sire
Icon NASTA Grade 1 AHS Premium Grade 1.
Dam
Starlight Eclipse (Hanem AHS Premium stallion x Charmine).
Starlight
Eclipse by Hanem was bred on the AHS premium scheme. Hanem was a prolific winner
under saddle and a producer of top class show hacks and PBA in hand and ridden
champions mainly under the Gwyndy prefix and bred by Brenda Winstanley.
Tempest
Golden foal is Icon's first foal and Eclipses' fifth. She has already produced
winning SHP and national qualifying PBA. He has been dual purpose bred for performance/showing
and is already showing a very friendly nature and exceptional movement. All who
have seen him have admired him and all my long suffering family keep popping round
for another look and a stroke. He will be registered PBA and with the Palomino
Society. We are waiting for the next fine day to take more photos and movies.
This was
our first attempt at AI, we are very grateful to our vet Andrew Melling B.V.Sc.
MRCVS who successfully inseminated Eclipse at home as she had a foal at foot.
Icon's semen was collected by West Kington Stud Wiltshire and posted for 9 am
delivery directly to the vets.AI has allowed me to use a Graded Palomino stallion
, it was definitely worth the expense and the effort on this occasion. Icon's
owner/breeder Suzanne Keevil seems as pleased as we are with our stunning golden
foal. She can be contacted on 01373 832026 or email keevil@aol.com, website www.idoloandicon.info
