Shepparton Paula FP3574

‘Paula’ is a lovely sweet natured stocky black mare who came over to us in May 2003 from the Shepparton Stud, UK. She settled into her new surroundings very quickly. She ran out with our stallion Dene Teviot from July 2003, and on the 5th September 2004 had a nice black colt foal, Globetrotter Quail ‘Q’. Paula and her foal “Q” spent the summer and autumn months of 2004 running out with the other mare and her foal, 'Faye' and 'Sugar'. In March 2005 “Q” was weaned from Paula. Paula ran out with the herd and stallion for the spring and summer of 2005, but in the autumn of 2005 she proved not to be in foal, so we thought it might be best for her to come up and be in the home fields and start doing some light training with her, i.e. long reining, getting her used to traffic etc. Paula enjoys the work very much and is doing very well. Hopefully we will have her backed in the next couple of months, and then start her lightly in harness training. We think that 'Paula' will make a very good ride and drive pony, enjoying cross country and WHP classes also.
