We wish to thank Susan Stepney of the Gallod Stud in Manitoba for this exceptionally well-bred mare. I had wanted this mare even before she was born!
I was highly impressed with the movement I saw in a video of *Nebo Ffion, (Fflame's dam) when she was just a yearling. After looking over her pedigree, I mentioned to Susan that if she ever bred Ffion to her stallion, *Nebo Calonog we would want the foal if it was a filly. Three years later, Fflame was born and she had the movement I was hoping for. Fflame is currently the only daughter of this cross and we are thrilled to have this double Nebo Daniel grandaughter in our broodmare herd .
Fflame is a phenomenal mover as demonstrated in the photo below. She has the lift, drive, extension and suspension that one would expect from her bloodlines. Her trot is breathtaking! She has a sweet and fun temperament and is a bit of a clown, often making us laugh at some of the silly things she does.
Though we can hardly wait to see what she and Dundee will produce together, we chose to breed Fflame A.I. to the 2002 George Prince of Wales cup winner, Gwynfaes Culhwch. On June 19, Fflame blessed us with correct, big boned, super moving black colt! |
