Innellan Kestrel

Born: 19.05.1996, Great-Britain
Breeder: Mr John Beeley

Innellan Kestrel was originally standing in Finland in 2003 breeding season. His foals fulfilled all the expectations, they are very typical Connemaras and good movers so the stallion came back for 2006 season. In October 2006 we were lucky enough to negotiate another season in Finland for him. Big thank you for the owner for the trust!

Innellan Kestrel has travelled back to Denmark to his owner in mid September.
