SPOTILAS in HORSEMAIL.FI
If you live in Finland you are familiar with horse-journalist Margit Ticklen. Along with a lot of other horse people around Europe, we have also been lucky to meet Margit. As we say, Margit is first with the news! Let me explain that, because that is actually a fun story!
Back in 2017 Margit contacted Bjørn. She would like to write an article about Bjørns foalalarm system “SafeMate”. Margit filmed a little video sequence of our mares on the field. It was a bit difficult for Margit to film - because one of our mares kept going in front of the camera and keeping away the other mares, trying to keep all the attention to herself. That mare was Luna – Spotilas´mother. Margit asked about this leading mare, and Bjørn told Margit that we had a plan to get Luna in foal with Totilas. So yes Margit was the very very first who could tell the news about Spotilas 2 years before his birth!
8 years later Bjørn and Margit met once again, this time making an interview about 6 years old Spotilas. Well, a lot has happened since, and if you have a subscription to horsemail.fi you can read a lot about Spotilas´s journey, and Anders Hoeck and our planes for the future.
