Tess
Fabulous 5 year old classic mare

Here's a really nice, and incredibly well bred 14.2 hand, 5 year old mare.  She's got horses like "The Long Mane Mare" and the Old Paddy horse as her near relatives.  She's one of the best bred horses anywhere.  This gal is not only BUILT, but she's one of the sweetest, most gentle mares I have ever had the pleasure to meet.  She's just lovely, inside and out.  She loves people, and with her beautiful head and expressive face, she just steals your heart.  She's a proven broodmare, who produces awesome foals, and so far, all fillies!  In the pictures, she's about 2 weeks out from foaling, so she's very heavy in the belly.  She's a lovely shaped mare, and even looks gorgeous being that heavily pregnant!  Her legs are picture-perfect, and she has as much feather as any mare around!  She has a mane that goes down past her shoulder, and a tail that drags the ground.  She wasn't completely clean when we took the pictures, we didn't get time to brush out the mane and tail.  It will look fabulous all brushed out and taken care of.  Tess has been a sought after mare as well.  A few of the top gypsy breeders have been trying to buy her for a good while now, but the seller wouldn't let her go.  We have finally secured her with over a year of trying!  She is a sister (by the same stallion) as the mare "Tammy", another of the top mares anywhere!

Price:  $25,000 thru both mare quarantines shipping as a mare and foal.  Three in one package, Tess, her filly (see below), and tess is in foal for 2004 to Shogunner.   This is the last chance to buy Tess and her filly together.  The filly will be weaned in November, 2003, and then will only be sold separate from her mom.  Price for Tess without the filly (but in foal for 2004 to Shogunner), $20,000.  Filly alone without Tess, $10,000. 
Want a truly awesome pair of mares and foals?  Make a package off of Tammy and Tess (and Tess' 2003 filly) and take $3000 off of the package!

Thomas is kind of fond of her, and she of him as well!  

 

Tess likes giving pony rides to both big and little boys!  
 

 


Here she is!  This is Tess' filly, born in June, 2003, shortly after the "very pregnant" pictures were taken!  She looks like a good one!  She's a full sister to "Twinkle" on this site.


New pictures taken Sept 24, 2003.  The filly is 3 months old in these pictures.  Look at the feather on her!  Wow.  And her mane is showing signs of being long and full like her mother's.  She's got a great shape to her as well.  She looks like her full sister Twinkle did at this age!  She just exudes quality!

 

Tess' 2003 filly is sired by this guy, a very well pedigreed, and very heavily feathered (he's wet in the pictures) stallion.  I really liked the shape of this guy!  He is a beauty indeed, and one of the best-bred horses in England. (For 2004, Tess is in foal to Shogunner)
