I was honored to be asked to do this interview. The conversation was enhanced by the moderator also being involved with a UK rare breed, the Irish Draft. I learned from her about what she faces in stewardship!

Last year I published research on the rare maternal lines in the Fell Pony, including a list of the most endangered lines. This morning I received word from an owner of two mares on that list that they had successfully got them in foal. Fingers crossed for fillies for them!!! Also in that research I was surprised to find one of my mare lines on the Watch list. In this photo are two females in that line: Bowthorne Matty and her new little one Willowtrail Bonny. So grateful for a filly from Matty again!

Hello, Miss Speckle-Face! Willowtrail Star Lily is my first gray, so every day is new as she changes color. I remember meeting her father's half-sister, another gray, at this age, and she was similarly speckled!
