New Braintree, MA: Trum-Searah Farm had some visitors in late Feb. Sally Oxnard, Carolyn McCollum and Lynn Bergeron with her oldest little girl all visited. They came to see the ponies Tullymor's Mountain Thunder (Tullymor's Flying Ace x Kahlua) and Valley Creek Angileri ( Heavens Ridge Patrick LeBeau x White Oaks Greystone Classic) and the other mares,gelding and fillies. There are 10 pure breds and 8 half breds on the farm along with QH's, a Morgan, and a mini. Pulling blankets off to show the ponies proved to be no problem for the Connemara's and they were all happy to have visitors. Lynn has become the proud owner of one of the youngsters. The pony she chose has been known as Searah's Big Mac born 6/18/07. Lynn will change his name to Searah's Calum. He was happy to load on the trailer again for his trip home with Lynn, as he was for the 07 Equine Affair where he was in the breed ambassador booth and loved all the attention he received.
