KWPN-NA

The KWPN-NA bred colt Ulrich ISF was named Foal Champion at the 2024 Devon Breed show on 25 September 2024.

Four foals competed for the foal champion's title: the winner and runner-up of the colt and filly division went head to head.

Quinnten Alston presented Ulrich ISF for breeder and owner Iron Spring Farm. Ulrich ISF is a cross bred foal by Cum Laude out of Friesian Awesome ISF (by Ulbert 390 x Winand 405). He is registered KWPN. His dam Awesome ISF won first premium at the Friesian inspection in 2016 and was second premium start at the inspection in 2019. Last year Ulrich's full sister, Twilight ISF (by Cum Laude), finished third in the filly class at the 2023 Devon breed show.

The reserve title also went to an Iron Spring Farm foal: the KWPN-NA registered filly Uriel ISF (by Cum Laude out of Fienna (by Sir Sinclair x Paddox)). Alston also handled this foal. Uriel already won first premium at the KWPN-NA foal inspection this summer. Dam Fienna is a star mare, who won the Mare Championship and became reserve champion in the Mature Horse Championship at the 2021 Devon Breed show. Uriel ISF is her fourth foal via ET.

The other two foals competing for the title were the Oldenburg-Arabian cross bred filly Feyre Darling (by Fortunato H20 out of Eladdinns Caliana (by PL Eladdins Jazz x FF Indianbay)), bred by Gabrielle Cottone and owned by Katie Cook. She was the runner-up in the filly championship earlier in the day. The filly is named after a character from the highly popular fantasy book series A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR).

The fourth foal was the runner-up of the colt division: Iron Spring Farm's KWPN-NA bred ET foal Ultimate ISF (by Kaiman out of Fienna (by Sir Sinclair).

The judges in the foal championship were Robin Birk and Kristi Wysocki.
