The Triple 7 Welcomes Elite Mare ‘Raquel van Gerbrig MFF’, Expanding Its Premier Friesian Breeding Program

McLendon-Chisholm, Texas — The Triple 7, owned and founded by breeder Billy Alt, proudly announces the arrival of its newest elite mare, Raquel van Gerbrig MFF an extraordinary daughter of the world-renowned Nane 492 Stb Sport AAA, one of the most influential Friesian stallions standing in the Netherlands.

Raquel arrives already in foal to Isaak BP 83, bringing with her rare bloodlines, elegant conformation, and the type of movement that elevates a breeding program overnight.

“Raquel is a generational mare, the kind you build an entire program around,” said owner Billy Alt. “Her pedigree, her look, her movement, and the foal she’s carrying make her one of the biggest additions yet to The Triple 7.”

A Foundation Herd Designed for Excellence

Raquel joins an elite and rapidly growing collection of mares and young stock at The Triple 7, including:
