Ruby Yeats’ first foal!
Ruby Yeats has been a wonderful horse to be involved with since we started leasing her in 2019.
As a racehorse she provided her Owners with many fabulous days at the races including 4 wins, 6 placed efforts and many fond memories. She was retired from racing in 2022 and went onto commence Broodmare duties and become our mare for our Breeding Syndicate.
Ruby took to her new role brilliantly and was covered successfully on 1st April 2022 by Group 3 winning Stallion Planteur and her pregnancy ran rather smoothly.
She did however like to keep us waiting for her first foal to arrive and finally at 1.30am on 27/03 Ruby gave birth to a beautiful chestnut filly. She is utterly adorable and is a very correct and strong foal who inherited her mother’s sassy side! She was nicknamed Twiggy by her syndicate Owners.
The pair spent a period of time grazing out in the paddocks until it was time for Twiggy to be weaned. Twiggy really did grow and develop and continues to do so now that she has already reached the age of 2 years old!
What’s been lovely about this entire journey is Owners have been involved from the very start. They have been able to visit Twiggy frequently to watch her develop at every stage and now we are at the exciting part of her career where she is in pre-training, preparing to move into full training for 2026.
