Second Weihaiwej Foal Born
February 12, 2003
 San
Patrignano Press Release --Happy event at San Patrignano
stud: on saturday 8th February 2003 the second Weihaiwej’s
foal has born. The foal’s father is Voltaire,
one of the most important Hannover sires whose sons
are, among the others, internationals winners like Concorde,
Flyer, Kannan, Helios, etc.
“The foal, born by an embryo transfer, does not
have a name. Indeed, we haven’t been able yet
to find an appropriate name made of a Chinese word beginning
with “V”, the letter which will mark all
the newborn foals in 2003.” Giacomo Muccioli,
responsible of the San Patrignano’s breeding farm,
says. “However, the most important thing, which
makes all of us very happy, is to see how Weihaiwej
is able to transmit her genetic characteristics since
the foal is resembling very much her mother.”
 Weihaiwej,
an 1984 Oldenburg, is worldwide renowned for her “blue
eyes” and for her successful sporting career.
She succeeded in all the most important international
competitions, winning also two gold medals at the ’94
World Championship in Hague, ridden to success by the
German champion Franke Sloothaak.
