Countryfile presenter Adam Henson shared a heartwarming update from his Cotswolds farm, announcing that his Suffolk Punch mare, Lexy, has returned from Holbeache Stud in Worcestershire where she had been staying. Excitingly, Lexy is now pregnant, with the foal expected to arrive in May next year. Adam highlighted the importance of the breeding program at Holbeache Stud, which plays a key role in conserving one of Britain’s rarest horse breeds. Fans responded warmly to the joyful news, celebrating the upcoming addition to the farm.
This positive development comes amid ongoing challenges on Adam’s farm due to severe drought conditions affecting crops and livestock. Despite the difficulties, Adam remains hopeful, noting that recent rainfall has begun to revive the grassland and improve the situation.
