Lucy" had had an unlucky time as a brood mare, having lost twin foals before being purchased by the "Aberdeen City Council", where they tried for several years to produce a foal from her, but she never had any while she was there.

The council decided to sell her everyone told us that she would never have a foal.

We liked her a lot and brought her home to Torbruad, what was another mouth to feed anyway and she is a lovely lady. We put her to "Prince" a month after she came home and in May 2000 she produced her first foal for us (Now 5 to date). She is a wonderful mother and spends all summer in the paddocks dotting on her new foals.
