Edwina has to have been our luckiest find after Umenno. Searching for several brood mares to commence our breeding program we were very fortunate to discover Edwina"

As soon as she arrived in Scotland her gentle nature revealed itself. Turned loose in the school she danced across the arena and we were totally smitten!

We immediately saw her potential, her limbs were refined and clean, her movement loose, supple and flowing and it was quite clear that her paces were well above average.

Edwina was a very fast learner and after only several weeks under saddle she was placed 2nd in the large Ridden Non Native class at North Yorkshire show just missing her qualification to Hoys followed by a second place at Perth Show.

She was consistently placed first and Champion inhand in many County Show rings including Champion reserve at the Dabbs Spring Show, but perhaps most notably, in 2006, Edwina won the Kilconquar Castle Overall Supreme Champion at Fife Agricultural Show with Amenno winning the hunter foal class.

In 2004 Edwina was scanned in foal at first covering to Umenno and by the time she was 4 months pregnant after an episode of colic it was decided to allow her to relax during her pregnancy. In September of that year Edwina was Graded by KWPN inspectors Ina Van Deurzen and Toinne Hoeffs and awarded the marks for Ster status at the SSH Gradings, receiving a 9 for her walk, 8.5 for trot, 7 for canter and 7 for her conformation.

In 2005 Edwina delivered the most striking colt foal, "Amenno", awarded a first premium at the Scottish Sports Horse gradings and was the first ever coloured foal to stand Champion foal in the hunter class at the Royal Highland Show. Amenno also claimed first prize in the hunter foal class at Fife Show.

In 2006 delighted with the outcome of this mating, Edwina was bred once again to Umenno and produced yet another outstanding coloured colt, "Solaris Buenno", this time, homozygous. Buenno is now one of our active stallions with exceptionally high fertility rates on first insemination and has since produced our next generation of coloured broodmares, Fechinna, Favorinna and Fabianna.

2007 The Umenno x Edwina combination evidently seemed to be working well so once again she was bred to Umenno and delivered yet another outstanding coloured colt, this time reserved in utero, "Chelanno" was sold to show producer Karen Ledger, Isle Of Wight. He has since debuted his career under saddle, placing 2nd at New Forrest Show in the CHAPS Open NON Native HOYS class as a 4 year old. At the Sport Horse Breeders (GB) National Championships at Addington he became Champion Ridden Four Year Old Sport Horse and finished the day Champion Reserve Overall out of the four, five and six year olds in the Blue Chip Flat Ridden Sport Horse of the Year 2011. Chelanno shows a very special aptitude for jumping with above average quality to his movement.

2008 saw the arrival of a much awaited filly with not a hair of white. Delanna was nonetheless exquisite, showing yet again off the floor paces. This filly seen at just a few weeks old was sold to yet another top class showing producer John Kawrl Jackes in Aberdeenshire. Delanna was awarded a first premium in both the eventing and dressage section at the BEF Futurity evaluations and also gained a first premium at the Scottish Sports Horse Gradings.

2009 brought the arrival of Edwina's fifth foal a second daughter, full sibling to her brothers and sisters. Elanna was the image of her dam, minimally marked an exceptional character of gold like all her siblings. It was decided with the introduction of Buenno as a breeding sire to let her go to a new home where she is much loved and cared for by Avie Mowat in the Shetland Isles purchased at just a few days old.

2010 saw the arrival of Solaris Felanno, again by Umenno. Yet another quality colt, expressive with a great outlook on life. A colt that has inherited all the strengths of his parents. Edwina's quick and active action of the hocks and knees and fabulous walk, coupled with Umenno's shoulder reach and uphill canter. A beautiful colt with a big personality. Felanno is likely to be the tallest of all his siblings. Felanno claimed the supreme coloured Championship as a foal at Perth Show. He has followed his success in the show ring with new owner Anita Taylor in England shown inhand by daughter Kelly.

Edwina is currently in foal to "Amoureux" for 2012
