Teasel's first day in
Wisconsin, having
arrived from England. I
think she is wondering
who opened the freezer
door!! |
Teasel was bred by the
legendary Robert Watson.
He is famous for still
breeding big "using"
horses. She is by his old horse, a
highly regarded stallion
and a son of the
original Roadsweeper
(UK).
She is out of the
legendary
Teddy Mare (DNA
verified) (by Eddie
Alcock's Black Stallion
aka The Old Black
Horse). Teddy is
believed, by many
gypsies, to be "the
Mother of all"...high
praise indeed! We are
delighted, and proud, to own a
daughter of this great
mare.
Teasel is the dam of our
sweet
Daisy |
Teasel is a tall mare, standing a
true and solid 15.1+hh. We think of
her being a typical "wagon mare",
the type bred with that one purpose
in mind. Nowadays the gypsies are
breeding them much smaller
since, with many leading a more
settled life, there is less need for
a horse capable of pulling several
thousand pounds.
Both her sire and her dam are
renowned for producing vast
quantities of top quality hair in
their babies and Teasel appears to
be no exception. But far more
importantly, they also are known for
producing correct horses with
excellent breed type, wonderful
temperaments and big, loose, free
movement.
We think they did a very nice job
with our big girl.

Teasel has the most
wonderful temperament.
A sweet, gentle
soul...she has the
sunniest character
imaginable...a mare with
joy in her heart. |

I captured this picture
as the girl were playing
in the snow (hence the
fence in the way!) Far
left is Teasel and in
front of her,
Daisy...her daughter.
Tansy and Magpie behind.
