Dear Breeder,
2011 bought the eagerly awaited arrival of the first crop of foals by MAJOR CADEAUX, with which we are extremely pleased. They are strong and have good conformation with good bone. We were also delighted to hear from other breeders who had sent their mares to him, saying how pleased they are with his foals. He had another good quality book of mares in 2011. He is very much in his sire’s mould and bearing in mind all of the above I would strongly recommend him to breeders.
INDESATCHEL was the Champion British based first season stallion in 2010, winning the coveted TBA Silver Salver. His two year old winners to runners in 2011 is 33%, better or equal to far more expensive stallions, and he has proved himself more than capable of siring good horses, including the promising Discression, trained by Kevin Ryan. His yearlings this year have made up to £39,900.
We are very pleased to be standing FIREBREAK for the 2012 covering season. He has had another great year. He is the Leading British & Irish Sire of 2 year olds between 2009 and 2011 in order of percentage stakes winners to runners at 8.57%, and has again produced another black type horse in Caledonia Lady, who won the Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes and was placed third in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot and Flying Childers Stakes, as well as the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes.
To try to cut down on the costs and to limit some of the financial risks to breeders in 2012 we are making a Special Offer on a number of nominations on a ‘First Come First Served’ basis. The offer is Free Keep Fees at Bearstone Stud on mares visiting our stallions and a Free Return should your mare not produce a Live Foal, included within the fee.
As always we would like to extend a warm welcome to visitors who wish to view our facilities and stallions. Please call to make an appointment.
We look forward to seeing you.
Kind regards
Terry Holdcroft
