Here is a gallery of Foals from Emerald Spring: The following are pictures of our homebred offspring, along with their accomplishments over
the last few years. Our first foals were born on our farm in 2005, and are now 4 years old. Our older offspring,
starting in 1995, were born at various places along the way...enjoy the photos!
Foals of 2010:
Wolkenflieger ESE, by Wolkentanz II, out of Ragazzi
(Rouletto/Akzent II) is a very big, sweet boy! He was our first born of 2010. His sire is one of the nicest to
be imported from Germany in many years:

Our last foal of the year was Worth It ESE, by Welcome
S, out of MS Destination (Donnerschall x Wilhelm Tell II) He is also a big boy, with some of the best movement we have
produced in our breeding program! He was conceived just a few weeks before his sire passed away at the age of 26.
We are very grateful to have been able to produce this wonderful colt!! Welcome S was a Grand Prix Dressage Champion,
and was at one point Number 1 in the World in Dressage!

a great attitude!

2007 Models...what beautiful girls!
In 2007, we had two beautiful fillies by Liberty Gold.

The Second, Legacy Gold, was sold as a weanling to Sherry Anne Smith, and is being raised by us, and will be started under
saddle by Dawn, and hopefully be a star in the Dressage ring.

Hanoverian IBC, and Legacy Gold placed third.
