I saw it on tv also, it's a great advert.

As with others I agree no rug is needed for foals. If mare kicked foal in the chest call out the vet to check foal.

Is she a maiden mare.

I always keep my colts up to the age of 16 months with mares and filles and never had a problem. I believe the colt benefits from being mixed in with mares. I always leave my colt's entire until they are 16 months old and I don't understand what the big hurry is to castrate colts when they are...

She is well made and a good looking horse. Colin Diamond is owned by the McDonnell and he stands just outside Nenagh in Co Tipperary. The McDonnells own a number of stallions and it is quiet possible that they bred your horse. If this is not the case they should be able to give you...

The breeders are listed as the current owners but if they sold on this 2005 horse they will be able to tell you who has him and where he is. The breeder/owners address is as follows as per the Irish Horse Board: Messrs Flynn & Gahan, Kellistown, Rathoe, Co Carlow, Ireland. I'm sure they will...

Photo of my mare

Attached is a photo of my 4 year old Flagmount King mare (that is if I correctly loaded photo properly). I broke her late as a three year old and left her off until this week for her to finish growing and maturing.

In or around 2005/06 a big grey stallion with Clover Hill bloodlines was brought in to replace Flagmount King, if memory serves me right it was the year before Flagmount King was retired. Contact Denis Phelan Snr his email address is on his website.

I saw Flagmount King at his stud farm in 2005, a magnificent horse. I bred and own a flagmount King filly.
