Photo Feature: Whitby and her foal arrive back from Norton Grove Stud
Whitby and her foal have been to Snailwell Stud in Newmarket, the home of Pastoral Pursuits, for Whitby to be covered. Pastoral Pursuits has been a very successful stallion for the yard, siring Hoofalong and Perfect Pasture, two of our top rated sprinters.
The bookings were arranged by Norton Grove Stud, and after her journey back from Newmarket we went to Norton to collect Whitby and her foal.
They will now stay at the yard with the other mares and foals until it is time for Whitby to return next year to Norton Grove for foaling.
Meanwhile, at the stud Fujakka, word Perfect, Piece of Magic and On Holiday all have foals who will return to the yard shortly.
A big thank you to everyone at Norton Grove Stud for the excellent service they provide. More details:Foals at the Yard
