Foals 2007
Mar 07
We have had much earlier foals this year, and thankfully the weather has been glorious! We had a wonderful TB mare on loan, who needed to foal early so that she could go back in foal to a TB stallion this year, so in mid march she gave us the most exquisite Dark bay Donnersohn colt.

Donnervogel and White Dove
Aug 06
Last year we sold the beautiful White Dove (by World Classic) in foal to Donnersohn, she went to the loveliest home where she is kept like the princess she is. This spring she had the most stunning grey colt, who has been shown in the North of England and has proved a big winner as both a sports horse and a riding horse.
He was First and reserve champion sport horse at the North Yorkshire County show, with his dam placed second and they both won their classes in the riding horse breeding at The Northern Horse Show. Then followed a journey down south for the British Dressage Breeding Championships, where he was second in his colt class and White Dove was fourth in a very strong broodmare class.
This colt is now for sale, and we were so impressed we have now put White Dove's big sister (17.1hh!) White Classic, in foal to Donnersohn for 2007.
