Just thought you might like to see a few pics of this years babies as there seems to be some cracking foals bred this year I've seen on this site.
Hope you like them.

I have another Faustinus out of a welton mare but just got to get a decent picture! Used him to refine and he certainly did that as she's very tall and elegant. The Faustinus on this thread has also got brilliant movement and slightly more substance about her which personally I like, and she was bred for me to keep as her mum is my ex competition mare so she won't be going anywhere! The Hofrat filly is coming on beautifully and think she may well over take on our rankings this year so I may well have to give in to my partner and agree that she could be our best! Saying that Charming Boy's who is only 14 days old is a cracking little chap but very cheeky!
 
How is the Hofrat's canter? I love Hofrat and last year at the stallion show he blew me away to the point of tears. This year the canter was really struggling. I also love what he has produced both in Hotline and in his pure bred Trakehner offspring I have seen. Sadly I couldn't afford to use him this year but very interetsing to hear how pleased you are with your filly by him
 
The filly is amazing, she canters around changing leg like it's the most natural thing in the world! I also have a Hofrat yearling colt from last year who is just starting to come into himself but the mother is full sister to Windsor Queen and it pretty big herself so he is taking his time to mature into himself. He has the most amazing head but needs to grow into his neck. I love Hotline but am one of those who agree he is the finished product and that is why we went back a generation and used Hofrat. We don't regret it for a minute. We also have a Sandro King 2 year old filly and she is the same, as youngsters they look nothing but when they hit 3yrs thats another story!
 
The Charming Boy colt is lovely! I could take him home in a heartbeat and the star on the Hofrat filly is incridible, it looks like it has 5 points and is perfect!

What beautiful babies!
 
Three stunning foals, was very impressed with Charming Boy and Faustinus when I saw a DVD of them this year and we were told to use Charming Boy on one of our mares, but went with other stallions this year. But they are just stunning foals, no wonder you are chuffed....
