A couple of years ago at a horse show I saw a beautifull black Welsh Cob stallion, and thought: wow! If I am ever in the opportunity to get one of his breedings for little money, I'd like to have her. Never looked for one, and I didn't think about it much, although I never forgot this stallion.
Last month I was called by a woman from the other side of the country, who was looking for a stable for her mare to recover from a minor injury. I only take longterm guests in the stable, for the horses live in a group. So that was not an option. But we talked about this mare, -which happened to be a welsh cob-, and I wondered whether she was bred from this black impressive stallion. She was indeed, and not for sale. But this lady sold her to me for a very low price, and this mare is here now. Not as a guest, but as part of my family!
