Born 1993, black, 96 cm, Diploma, Elite licensed

Dead on August 28, 2009 (16 years old)

Fergie received a diploma at the age of three and she has won several gold medals with 42 p as the highest. In 2005 Fergie got A-licensed due to her good breeding qualities.

Fergie is by Furunäs Fernando RS 258, a double Best in Show winner with 44 p and also the winner of the Major Stallion League for 2002 & 2004, and out of SUCH Furunäs Bonnie RS 2331, elite- and gold winner.

Fergie is the mother of Furunäs Jersey Joe, who was part of Team Skäpperöd, twice Swedish Champions in four-in-hand-driving for ponies. You can read more about them under Horse & Carriage.

Fergie is the mother of two licensed stallions: Furunäs Nelson RS 444 owned by Skattens Stuteri and Furunäs Rebell owned by Carthorse Stuteri.

In the summer of 2008 Fergie was covered by the Elite stallion Wessel vd Amstelhof RS 235 but did not get pregnant. Later investigations have shown that Wessel is unfortunately no longer fertile.

In the summer of 2009 Fergie was hit by EPSM (Equine polysaccharide storage myopathy) which we finally managed to treat through a long period of medication. When she was without symptoms she could join her flock and enjoy the summer field for several weeks. At the end of August, however, she became completely lame in her left front hoof. She probably had been hit by a dorsal displacement of the soft palate due to overstrain during the EPSM treatment. We tried to stop the pain in order to have her hoof x-rayed but not even double doses helped ... On Friday August 28 we had to make the painful decision of finally relieving her from her pain.

We will always remember Fergie as a beautiful and feminine little mare. Her amazing main and tail gave her a fairy tale look. Her qualities as a breeding mare are well documented through her two licensed sons, among other off springs. We are tremendously grateful that she gave us her beautiful daughter Umbria so that Fergies blood lines will continue on the stud.

Fergie's excellent breeding has qualified her for an Elite award in 2009.

In September 2009 Fergie became Elite licensed due to her outstanding breeding.
