Congratulations Cuill Pollei and Tobermory!!

Our 100% Eriskay mare, Cuill Pollei, has finally given birth to her long awaited foal out of Eriskay stallion Tobermory. She had a colt at 2am on the very stormy morning of 5^th of May 2009 which also happened to be part owner, Jonathon Wojtunik’s, thirtieth birthday! We have called him Tolstaidh as a name for everyday on the yard, but his show name is Deich ar Fichead which is Gaelic for thirty.

He is a decent size of a foal and full of beans. He is black at the moment with a pale grey muzzle but will eventually fade to grey like his parents over the next 5-8yrs.

Eriskays are very rare with only around 300 or so ponies having Eriskay blood in them. Every year there are only around 15 Eriskay foals born so Tolstaidh is a very important foal. His father is 95% pure Eriskay making Tolstaidh 97%. His mother is very rare as not only is she 100% but there are only 40 mares left that are completely Eriskay and she is the last mare of her bloodline. We will be looking for another 100% stallion for her this year so please contact us if you know of any that you think may be suitable.
