Avril is a beautiful 2007 Bay Shire mare out of Heidi and by Burnham Green Alfie. Avril was the first filly ever born here at Shiredale and was also Heidi's first filly ever as well! Avril got her name as she was born a week to the day before Avril Lavigne's 2nd CD "Under My Skin" dropped, who was one of my favorite artists at the time so that is how she got her name! Avril was born broke to do anything and everything! That which she didn't know she learned quickly. She has been an amazing horse to be around and know as she has grown up into a mare. Avril is now the tallest horse here at Shiredale and is already well over 17.2h. Avril combined beautiful attributes of both parents to create a beautiful and well mannered horse! Avril is best friends with her 1/2 sister Annie, and best friends with her 1/2 sisters on her dam side, Adrianna and Josephine. Avril has always had a special bond with her grandmother Maddie as well. Avril is super happy here and will continue out her days here either foaling Drum Horses or Shire foals in the future. Avril's first foal will arrive in 2012 and is to be a Drum Horse foal sired by Desert Jewel Isaac. Please keep checking back as Avril nears the due date of her first foal! March 16th 2012 can not come soon enough so can meet Avril's child that lies inside her. Please keep checking for photos of Avril's child arrives! It will be guaranteed to be black and white or bay and white due to Isaac being homozygous tobiano! So excited!
