We have some wonderful up and coming Gypsy horses, but one thing lacking in our herd is maturity, so we have been looking for an older "been there, done that mare" trained to drive, ride, a good brood mare and of course with a very sound temperament. We need a mare who you can sit the Grandchildren on, a good all round family horse, and much to our delight we finally found her. Not only is she all the above, she is also a very nicely put together mare, 50/50 colouring, traditional size with good feather and hair.

This space is reserved for her first picture taken when she comes home to us.

Of Chriona Kate and Ron said: "We asked Deirdre Cash of Clononeen Farm in Ireland to recommend to us a smaller stature piebald Gypsy mare, with good conformation, luxurious feathers, already trained to ride and drive, and with a strong desire to be our best friend! And we wanted a mare already in foal to an excellent stallion. A tall request – but Deirdre answered that she had a beautiful mare that would fit us right down to the ground! We are so blessed with Deirdre’s good taste in horses, and to have Chriona is our lives as a result!!!"
