Was the breeding of Fiona, dam of Ochre Golden Tan ever discovered? I remember someone was looking into it as they were with Sylvia, who has now been discovered but can't remember seeing if Fiona was found.
I don`t think we could find anything more out from what i can remember ? Although i have just found a piece of paper with Fantasy`s pedigree that Josie Thompson wrote out when i bought her 17yrs ago , all it says is Fiona , Irish Bred , Point to Point / Hunter mare !
Have found this photo of Ochre Golden tan in a stud advert from 1969
Advert says:
"Ochre Golden Tan BPD No 837 vol III 15.2 hh 1965 Sire Mr. Sun-Tan Dam: Fiona Ochre Golden Tan's top class breeding needs no explanation. He has true plaomino colour combined with quality and th ekindest temperanment. MK Heathcote, Kersey, Staplehurst Kent.
I will look back to the 1965 mags and see if it gives any clues on Fiona's breeding.
Have found Ochre Golden Tan's registration entry. It is BPS volume III no 837. Unfortunately it just gives breding as by Mr. Sun-Tan/Fiona. Breeder: Miss R Dinham, Redditch. Owner Mrs. R. Browne, Bicester. Jan Browne is still breeding but she may not know Fiona's breeding if she just bought the colt in.
Fiona dam of Ochre Golden Tan?
