Louisiana - dynamic, exciting and beautiful American state; state song of "you are my sunshine"

Lulu is a lovely filly that seems to combine the best of her mum and dad which is the perfect combination. Friars Liberty is a fantastic little stallion who has already sired Supreme Champion show winning foals and is from a superb line of champions so hopefully she will follow in their footsteps. Liberty's sire is very well-known as a successful show colt and also sire of multiple supreme champions and his dam is also a multiple winner and full sister to Friars Goldilocks the All Welsh Supreme at the Royal Welsh last year. Granby Lacewing was a true welsh mountain pony - a lovely straight mover, fantastic conformation, substance combined with a wonderful temperament and included all the old greats in her extended pedigree (e.g. Coed Coch Madog, Coed Coch Glyndwr, Clan Pip, Bleddfa Shooting Star, Revolt, Grove Sprightly). It is therefore no surprise that Lulu is maturing into an elegant filly with an inquisitive and friendly temperament and a tendency to bounce round with her tail over her back. She was my first foal in 2005 and truly was a ray of sunshine after a long cold winter! I was devastated to unexpectedly lose Lace in 2005 - she was a fantastic mother and a pleasure to own - but fortunately Lulu is showing her dam's indomitable spirit and continues to thrive.
