Willem TCF arrived on 7/17/7...a rather auspicious date..Uneventful foaling, baby very handsome,  very tall with a lovely head and he early movement gives us hope for something really special in the future.  He has the silvery fawn color that preceeds the very black coats of some of our horses!  

The only foal we have for sale this year, will be Brechtsje's foal, due 7/1/7...This is a Wander 352 foal, and is supposed to be a colt.  We expect him to have the short intensly black coat of his dam and sire,  and  the correct  conformation that they both share.   We are eagerly awaiting this foal's birth, and will post pictures when available....
