First Prize, Golden Medal, Premium Foal Wickrath Breed Show, Germany Mr. Martin Spoo, the chief German inspector, made the following comments about Cliff: "No. 71 heads this ring, bred by Martina Ferfers, Juechen, out of the Federal Premium Mare Roxanne. Her dam Bright Pearl being a proven Federal Premium Mare, too. The foal presents himself at first glance directly uphill. Typical, then moving extraordinarily. Wonderful from the side, dynamic hind leg, correct, good upper arm. 1a and the golden medal. Without question the best Connemara foal here in the ring today."
