2007 Season Foals
Welcome to our presentation of our current season's foals!All the foals shown here are for sale unless otherwise mentioned! In a few cases we retain foals to develop our breeding programme but we encourage you to inspect these youngsters anyway because they demonstrate the reliable quality of our breeding programme. Often the mares concerned will be in foal to the same stallion this year as well.
Of those foals which are retained by Aurum to develop our bloodlines, the most common reason is with a filly foal whose mother is getting on in years. We hasten to add that we don't keep the best ones for ourselves! You can be confident of the quality of our youngsters, our reputation is our most important asset!
We believe that the early months of a foal's life are critical to prepare it for the best outcome and longevity as a riding horse. Our youngsters are well handled from birth, are taught to lead from day one and have their feet done. All our foals are people-oriented; people are part of their daily life from the start and co-operating with people is normal for them.
They are all wormed regularly, well fed and vaccinated so we know that their competition careers won’t be interrupted or shortened as a result of inadequate early care. This is especially important in order to avoid long term health problems such as anaemia, colic or irreparable damage to the intestinal tract. Foals which are not wormed appropriately can experience poor development and growth, impaired performance capability and lowered resistance to disease even carrying through to later life. It pays to know where you are buying your foal from!
