Can anyone offer any info please.

She was definitely in France November 2008.
I purchased Kilouna from a dealer in Blackpool in September 2009- no complaints with them.

Interested if anyone had any knowledge of her from her arrival in England to the dealer acquiring her probably around June 2009.
I suspect via Lancashire dealers.

She is French passported, extremely headshy,and possibly changed hands in England because of this problem.

Very well schooled, almost bombproof ridden but has a HUGE problem with people holding ropes, headcollars etc. and does not enjoy human contact.


We have visited her French owners so know about her up to leaving them.We think she went from them to someone they knew in Belgium (our French wasn't good enough to understand everything), so may have come over here with a consignment of warmbloods.

She is a fine 15hh, a very distinctive chestnut marbled appy with blanket spots and steel grey mane & tail.
Would love to know where her handling problems originated, someone working on any dealers yard she passed thru must remember her.

Any info gratefully received.

Thanks for that possibility, her French owners had her for several years on their 'ferme' & there are pics on their website.

Couldn't work out why she moved on from them-language limitations!!

Will give it a try but ideally want to know about her from Nov'08 to July/Aug'09

Thanks again

Yours are great, had a look a few weeks ago when the Appy thread was current in NL

Thanks Susanna but we visited them in France so it was a conversation- face to face.
Would have managed if it was written

Really should have paid more attention at school!

They were genuinely pleased we went- I was a bit worried it might have been a horror story
I just feel that as she wasn't very easy to catch over there with people she knew, she's had some tough handling from strangers over here.

I'm genuinely not looking to 'get at' anyone- just filling in the gaps, so if anyone does recognise her name and did own/deal her I can fully understand why she was moved on-she is very frustrating.

Once again thanks for the offer.
