(Photo by Emma
Gould.) Photographed 10/9/06. It was serendipity that we ended
up with Ella; she was originally sold to another breeder, and
when that sale fell through, I jumped at the chance to buy her.
Sunni, Ella's breeder, has retained her full sister Ever After,
and considers her one of her best--and we can see why. Ella's
dam is closely linebred on Surprise, being a result of a breeding
of Surprise to her son Flash. Ella represents a cross of the Surprise
line with a Kingwood descendant, which has proven very successful
in the past. She is very elegant and level on the move, with great
legs and feet and a sweet, cheerful disposition to boot. Bred
to Giacomo; kidded with buck/doe twins 4/9/08. Ella's udder is
a carbon copy of her beautiful sister's, a very good thing. It
also bears a strong resemblance to that of Something Wild, her
paternal half sister, though their dams are not related; this
is nice evidence of the prepotence of their sire, Fox Fire.
