FS Thee Cinderella (Thee Desperado x Christina JD)
Congratulations to international Arabian trainer Frank Spoenle on the arrival of his first American-born foal! Born February 15th via embryo transfer to Padrons Psyche daughter Christina JD, this Egyptian-sired Thee Desperado filly is big, bay and beautiful!
Frank is so happy with this filly, who he’s named FS Thee Cinderella, that he has made plans to keep her in the US and show her here in 2010! He’s also breeding Christina back to Thee Desperado for 2010.
Thee Desperado’s stud book is still open to non-straight Egyptian mares! Let us know if you’re interested in creating a beautiful foal like Cinderella!
