Pedigree name, Bridgeford Lily
Born: April 2005
Height: 17 hands
Type: Shire Horse Mare
Colour: Bay (brown)
Information:
We brought Lily in March 2009 from Cambridgeshire, her sire (father) is a well known stallion called Walton Supreme. Before we brought her she was bred with another champion stallion called Ruskington Hartley. She has since had her first foal Bromford Lady Diana. Lily will be shown by ourselves this year with her foal Diana. We will be breeding from Lily again. With her new foal, she has proved very popular and she loves the attention from the visitors.
And her foal, Diana
Pedigree name, Bromford Lady Diana
Born: 20th June 2009

Diana was born in the afternoon while we still had visitors, which is unusual as mares often give birth when it is quiet. There was a crowd of thirty when she was born, a few people had been waiting most the day. She is growing well and is loving all the fuss!
