Hope’s Story
Hope arrived in Eglwyswrw in the early summer of 2020 in the middle of the original national lockdown.
She arrived from Yorkshire with her young foal at foot – ‘Jonesy’ having been born in Yorkshire in mid-April.
At the time of her arrival, she was not in the best condition – she was lean and clearly, at the good age of 16, having to feed her new born was taking it out of her more than usual. She settled in well on our farm and out on the grass filled out once again.
She successfully foaled on the farm and gave us Dyfed Samuel in 2022 but she sadly passed away a year later in 2023.
But this independent and self-confident old girl is very fondly remembered and can look down with great pride at her boy Jonesy, who has since left the farm in early 2024 for London, where he is now in training as a potential future Drum Horse in the Household Cavalry!
