Join the clip on a ride with Astrid and Lady Jane.
It is winter but still the grass in the paddocks is green and with the sun almost summer colors come out.
Shirestoet Lady Jane is grazing side by side with her six-month-old foal Grace on Astrid Danielsson's farm in Smedseröd in Uddevalla.
Something that Göteborgs-Posten was the first to write about.
Although they belong to the world's largest horse breed, Lady Jane doesn't look that much bigger than her foal.
- Yes, she is considered small with her height of 1.68 meters at the withers.
I have seen mares that were 1.90 meters and taller, says Astrid Danielsson, breeder of Shirehästar in Uddevalla.
Difficult to find equipment
She prefers that the horses are a little smaller because they are more agile then and it is also easier to find equipment that fits.
- A height at the withers of 1.75 would be perfect.
Then you have the size and the mass but still the flexibility.
In the past, Astrid also had Lady Jane's mother, but she is no longer alive.
- It is a piece of cultural heritage and history that you keep by continuing to breed horses like this.
