Countryfile presenter Adam Henson has announced that his Suffolk Punch mare, Lexy, is pregnant and expected to give birth in May 2026 at his Cotswold Farm Park. Lexy is a critically endangered breed, with fewer than 500 Suffolk Punch horses worldwide and only 75 breeding females in the UK. Adam highlighted the breed’s historical importance in farming and noted the drastic decline in their numbers, emphasizing the significance of this upcoming foal for conservation efforts.

Adam expressed excitement about the rare addition to his farm and shared updates on Lexy’s pregnancy through social media, including confirmation from Holbeache Stud’s Alison after two successful scans. Alongside this joyful news, Adam also reflected on the challenges farmers face due to increasingly extreme weather patterns, underscoring the importance of resilience in agriculture as they look forward to a healthier year ahead.
