The final day of the first week saw the tour move on to Tall<br />
Trees Arena in Cornwall where a good number of eventing<br />
stock in particular came forward for assessment.<br />
The highest scoring eventer was Wellpark Sport Horses’<br />
Wellpark Don Giovanni. This colt foal is a son of West<br />
Country sire Hallmark DS who is now competing at Novice<br />
Eventing. Hallmark combines the bloodlines of Cavalier Royale<br />
(grandsire) out of a Thoroughbred motherline. Don Giovanni’s<br />
dam is an Irish bred daughter of Grand Prix dressage stallion<br />
Silvano. The judges described him as well balanced and<br />
harmonious and praised the ground cover in his canter.<br />
Wellpark Sport Horses were also responsible for the 2nd<br />
highest eventing score, which was for Wellpark Leporello, a<br />
colt foal by Ninth House.<br />
DBM Furstin-Love (Fursten-Look x Damon Hill)<br />
The highest score of the day and the overall series 2yo show<br />
jumping champion was Masterclass with an Elite score of<br />
9. Owned and bred by Keith Lovelock, this colt has some<br />
classical bloodlines, being by For Pleasure out of a Balou<br />
Du Rouet mare. The dam Westpoint Bijou, is now eventing.<br />
The motherline is one of Westpoint stud’s foundation lines,<br />
hailing from the Danish mare Rastello who produced a number<br />
of good offspring to their resident sire Fulton including<br />
CSI*** competitor Westpoint Ferdinand. The well muscled<br />
and developed colt presented a very pleasing picture to the<br />
assessors and scored a 9.5 for his frame and a 9.25 for both<br />
his elevated trot and balanced canter.<br />
The second highest show jumping score went to Christina<br />
Hood’s colt foal Kinabalu SFS by the young Kannan son Karajan<br />
who was awarded a 9 for his big striding walk.<br />
In the dressage division it was the filly foal DBM Furstin-Love<br />
bred by Kristina Floyd-Walker who was awarded a Higher First<br />
and the section’s top score. She impressed with her wonderful<br />
frame and ground covering walk. The filly is a daughter of the<br />
2018 Young Horse World Championships Bronze medal winner<br />
