You wonder at the funny turns life offers to you, one day you are set on a definite path and the next onto a trajectory never considered before.
My introduction to Newhaven horses was one such trajectory, taking us on a fantastic mission and adventure.
The Timor is by far the most influential pony in the Waler’s make-up. The Timor Pony is a very pure breed.
This project was conducted by WHOBAA in conjunction with Dr E G Cothran of the Texas A&M University, Dept of Veterinary Science, USA.
I became interested in the silver gene just over ten years ago, when a beautiful silver bay mare of supposed Waler breeding took my fancy. Up until then, I would have lumped silver bays and chestnuts with flaxen into the same colour category, which would be taffies.
