Kerrymor’s Surprise
Dolly the pony in 1978 with newborn foal Surprise.
The small filly (1978, out of Dolly the pony by Lynfields Kiltuck) was indeed a surprise, created by Kiltuck jumping out an enclosure at age 2 and apparently seeking out his favorite mare.
The family taking care of the McKennas’ horses at the time not did not think anything had happened, so they never mentioned it.
As Dolly kept expanding, the McKennas kept cutting back her food, until one day an extra foal appeared in the herd’s pasture.
