We had three mares covered/inseminated and all three have been scanned in foal. In 2015 we expect foals out of the following combinations:

  • KWPN ‘ster’ and ‘sport’ mare Shifra (Goodtimes x Saluut) in foal to Florencio (photo)
  • Holsteiner mare Thamara M (Cento x Coriano Z) in foal to Calvaro Z
  • Welsh Partbred (NWR) mare Siepkes Princess (by Orchard Red Prince) in foal to Nilantshoeves Zippo (Welsh pony).
