| Welcome to Ruddick Stables |
| Indiana Bred Option: With the recent changes to the Indiana program and breeders wishing to take advantage of all the benefits available, we have received much interest in boarding broodmares at the farm. The future value of foals meeting the residency requirements makes keeping mares in Indiana a wise decision. Shipped semen allows our clients to breed to the stallion of their choice. Thank you to all clients who entrusted their mares to us! |

Mr Ridgetaker wins at The Meadows in 1:55.4f Mr Ridgetaker turned heads earlier this year when he won a qualifier at Spring Garden Ranch on April 10 in a speedy 1:55.3. A son of Tom Ridge and Miss Risktaker, he trotted his last half in :54.3, with a final quarter in :27. He then won his first start of the year at The Meadows in 1:55.4f. The coIt appears to have come back in great form. With the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes scheduled to begin in May, he should be a major contender. Best wishes to Rick & Regina Beinhauer for an outstanding sophomore season. We will be selling his half-brother, The Schwan's Man (by Swan For All), in the 2012 Indiana Premier Yearling Sale in September. Adagio in foal to Donato Hanover for 2013! 2,1:55; 3,1:50.1 ($2,998,777) 2012 Stud Fee: $20,000 On Monday, March 12, we found a 12 day embryo in Adagio. All those involved in her career are thrilled!!! After a successful 3-year-old campaign, which included winning the $250,000 Kentucky Sires Stakes Final, Dean Miller of DM Stables, LLC decided to retain Adagio as a broodmare. He chose to breed her to Donato Hanover this year. With the success of his offspring, and her pedigree and performance on the racetrack, the foal could be anything!

| Foaling Season is Underway! 19 Foals: 10 Colts / 9 Fillies When Divino Amore delivered a filly on February 6, we started the 2012 foaling season. With 20+ babies due this year, we will be busy. Forever A Pleasure will be our last mare to foal this year. Be sure to check back for updates and photos throughout the foaling season!!! |
| Foal Alert System in use: In addition to our online cameras, we have added the popular Foal Alert System to our foaling protocol. This technology is helpful when foaling, to make sure an attendant is with the mare in a timely fashion. A transmitter is attached directly to the mare. When she starts to go into labor, a signal is sent to the autodialer to notify us of the situation. Our system can call up to 4 people for assistance. This is another way we are striving to provide the best possible mare care for our clients. |
| Mr Ridgetaker has excellent freshman season: Miss Risktaker's second living foal, Mr Ridgetaker (2,1:57.3f; $105,354), won his first career start in impressive fashion, setting a National Season's Record. He also won the Arden Stake at The Meadows. In addition, he was 2nd in 2 legs of the lucrative Pennsylvania Sires Stakes. He won the William Wellwood Consolation and was 3rd in the Champlain Stake at Mohawk Racetrack in Canada. Born and raised at Ruddick Stables, he has resumed training for his 3 year old season. Congratulations to owners Rick & Regina Beinhauer. |
| Stacey Ruddick completes continuing education course: Building on the skills from the 2 breeding courses at Colorado State University last year, Stacey attended an intensive ultrasounding workshop in California in early January. This should allow us to work even more closely with our consulting veterinarians and continue to improve the services available to our clients. |

Update on Yo Quierro's colt: Born only a few days before his due date, the colt from Yo Quierro
began having some issues. Once again, we called on our friends at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in
Lexington, KY, for assistance. The colt is currently under the care of Dr. Bonnie Barr, DVM, and responding
well. After success with several other foals for us, we believe there is no better facility for neonatal care!
