Elphin Tullagh is the first of Elphin Clara's (Fjord/App) foals by Mick. Tullie is a 1995, 13.2 hh, bay roan mare. Tullagh means "a little hill" in Gaelic, and this she certainly was, always a chunky little thing! As a foal and yearling Tullie was known simply as Fuzzy, due to her thick, plush-like foal and winter coats. In fact, she came to be called Fuzzypeg after a hedgehog in a series of British childrens' books!

We broke Tullie to ride and drive, and at age 3 she was purchased by the Dunklins of Terelisa Farm in North Augusta, Ontario. Mrs. Dunklin originally planed to drive Tullie, but students in her daughter Tess's riding school soon adopted her! Now Tullie is ridden and Pony Clubbed regularly by Tess's niece (and Mrs D's granddaughter) Jordan. Jordan recently took Tullie to the Maxville D Rally, where they completed their D2 level Pony Club test.

Tess says of Tullie: "Tullie is going pretty well. We had a dressage clinic on Sunday and Jordan had her on the bit. She looks so cute! And of course she can jump the moon! We played a little Chase-Me-Charlie last night and she jumped three feet easily. Jordan hopes to event her this year. We went to a hunter show recently and the judge wanted to know if she was for sale. She's come a long way and Jordan just loves her."
