Grace
Grace is another great favourite especially amongst Dales fans. She is a lovely example of the breed in looks and characteristics, from her flowing mane, tail and feather to her willing nature. She is strong and enduring and loves jumping and crossing rough country at speed. She has a sweet nature and is a sensitive mare. Sometimes she seems to carry the world's troubles on her shoulders as she tries to work us complicated humans out. But she is always ready to give things a go and give riders a "safe" feel, especially when over rough terrain, as this girl's got really sure feet!
Grace surprised YDTC with foal in their first year of opening - Oscar has grown up to be a great trekker like his mum and does her proud. In May 2006, Grace had yet another foal - planned right down to date and parentage this time! Grace allowed us to give her a whirlwind romance with a wonderful friendly and nicely put together grey Dales. We arranged all the details in between riding holidays and trail rides to try to create as little disruption to her adoring public as possible. Grace enjoyed her maternity leave from YDTC duties to have little Storm Cat and to rear the foal up to weaning, however she seemed ready again in November to join back in with the trekking ponies. StormCat is looking set to do Mum justice too!
UPDATE!
Grace has had her foal, Malhamdale Storm Cat! Here are two pictures of the new foal less than 1 day old. More information on Storm Cat can be found here.
