As some of you may know, I'm on the lookout for a new horse.There is an Irish Draught mare that I am interested in and I'm trying to find some info on her breeding.She is by Hillviewfarm Milligan and out of Snowford Queen b.

Now, her Sire is easy enough to get info about, however, I'm having some trouble finding info on her Dam, so if anyone has any knowledge of her, it would be greatly appreciated.Also, if anyone has or knows any offspring of either of them, it would be great to hear what they are like.:)
 
Smowford Queen B was bred by Mrs. Pam Symonds - who has been a leading light in IDHS(GB) for a LONG time. She retained her and bred 16 foals from her - the last in 2007. She was awarded 5 Hornby Premiums (in the old days when 3 was the max. needed to become a Hornby Select.) Snowford Queen B was born in 1988 so I expect she's deceased by now. Pam Symonds - on the other hand - is STILL going strong in her early 80's!
 
Wow, thank you for that JanetGeorge! Just wondering if you possibly have any contact details for Pam, as I think she may have bred the mare I'm looking at.
 
Queen b actually had her last foal for Pam in 2008 it was a part bred colt by loughehoe guy, I owned her 2007 pure bred colt and met the mare a couple of times, I think I may also have looked at the mare you talk about above a few years ago, I will try and hunt out some pics of qb and farmers boy (2007).I seem to remember qb died in 2008/9.

I have a gelding by HillviewFarm Milligan x Kingsclough Brunnera Blue. He is very smart with huge paces and a massive jump. He can be spooky and a little stressy if in stable on his own.... but that may just be him. We did not have him as a youngster so are not responsible for his early education !
 
we currently have a 7/8th irish draught mare which we are currently considering selling, she has bred 2 foals if you are interested in information?

I have a mare by HillviewFarm Milligan, she's spooky too and has a LOT of character ;-)

Love her to bits, she is amazing.
 
Hi, tried to pm but it was not an option (on mobile) but happy to get in touch and find out more about my share horse's ancestry!
 
Hi, I'm related to the breeder of your gelding. We would love to know how he is. His mum 'Brunnie' a little ID x Welsh has always been a bit stressy in the stable. However, she has perfect manners and has always been a dream to show! Sorry this is meant for ditchjumper2

Sorry I'm new to forums, I have sent a reply to your message but went about it the wrong way. Please see message above about regarding your gelding by Milligan :-)
