New Suffolk Punch Stud Welcomes First Foal

On 30th May at 3am a new Suffolk Punch stud came into existence with the arrival of a beautiful healthy filly foal, the first to be born with the “Kelsale” prefix. Kelsale May is owned and bred by Jackey and Trevor Phillips who own the land in Kelsale, near Saxmundham, where she and her Mum Withersfied Daisy live. Daisy is a “maiden mare” meaning this is her first foal, and May’s father is the multiple champion Besthorpe Achillies who is standing at The Suffolk Punch Trust in Hollesley, near Woodbridge.
Jackey and Trevor are thrilled with May and intend to keep her to complete their breeding stock of three Suffolk mares, May will join her mother Daisy and their other mare Colony Zeta who is currently at stud in the hope of getting her in foal for next year. It will be several years before May has to think about anything other than growing up, in the meantime she eats, sleeps and plays!
