Way West's First Foal

Way WestThis morning heralded the arrival of Way West’s very first foal, and we’re delighted to record the fact that it was from a Northern Guest mare, which in some respects heralds the beginning of a new “nick” for the old legacy. This is a quite exceptional colt out of Claim To Fame (who descends from a mare purchased from Queen Elizabeth II), and pleasingly, he is a dark bay like his father, with a spectacularly good looking head and great bone.

Heather MorkelThe lucky breeder is Heather Morkel, long-time CEO of Vuma Feeds, and now that she has taken time out to be with her family, head of the Marketing and Sales division of Africa’s top horsefeeds manufacturers. Another feather in the Heather cap.
