SOCKBURN ISADORA BORN : 23 April 1992 Sire : Illuster Dam : Idemara            by Bartholdy

Well our dream broodmare left Carol Torrance in Holland on Tuesday 4 January 2011 arriving here at Warrawee on Thursday 6 January 2011 on a very cold dark evening.   The long journey by road, ferry and road didn't have any detrimental affect on mare and expectant foal and Ellie settled well in to her new home.  What a relief that she was finally safe and sound in her new home, how excited were we.

Ellie was bred by David and Freda Clark of Sockburn in County Durham and was graded on the 12 September 2000.   In 2004 she was bought by Carol Torrance in Holland. 

Sadly in December 2023 our dear Ellie, aged 31, had to be put to sleep after suffering a stroke, she deserved to go with dignity and lots of apples after all the years of love, joy and happiness she had given us.   A very sad time.
