The Class of 2009
15.03.09: We are delighted to report that Belle Fee gave birth to a healthy, strong and very correct filly foal (remember: by Toylsome!) last night. Here are the very first photos:

New photos taken 14th of june - Belle Fee´s foal is now called Beltaine Fire (stable name "Betty" !) and looks a proper little prize-fighter!
Ribera and her foal "Royal Ruby" were off to visit Toylsome (it will be faszinating to see what she produces to him!), and while away, Ruby has been severely ill. Nursed back to health at Erftmühle Stud, both mum and daugher returned a fortnight ago; Ruby has grown nicely and looks far more presentable now:
