Stud update; Willow it is

After a lot of head scratching, we choose the name Willow for Snelsmore Quill’s first daughter. I wanted a really special name for this filly, but couldn’t quite find it. Willow seemed to have stuck with her from the start and now it seems to be the right name and really suit her. The willow…
