*Camus John linebred; Erin is the foundation mare of Foothills Farms Connemaras.
Among others, she has produced two lovely mares which have been selected for her replacement in the breeding shed: Foothills River Queen and Foothills MayBee.

Erin has definitely earned her retirement. After 13 foals, she is still very healthy and doing well, enjoying her days in the sun "on the heather" (in Blount Co., TN:-)), baby-sitting youngsters and providing beautiful pasture art for all who visit. Pictured below in May 2006 at age 29.
