SWALLOWFIELD
30th August
BRITISH BREEDING FUTURITY
The evaluation day at Swallowfield, near Solihull, saw a good
turnout across the disciplines. The top score of the day and
highest score for any two year old of the series, went to
the impressive chestnut dressage filly, Reggatta De Blanc,
earning an elite score of 9.275 for owner, Zahra Sadry. Bred
and shown by Woodlander Stud, this Hanoverian filly, by
Revolution out of a Blue Hors Zack mare, went on to become
Futurity Supreme Champion at Solihull.
Katie Brownbridge was delighted with her eventing foal,
R Springtime Distinction, a bay colt by Tolan R out of a mare
by the thoroughbred stallion, Merit, who scored 9.075 earning
an elite premium. Katie also showed the dam’s yearling
offspring, Springtime B, by Ramiro B, achieving a very high
silver score of 7.9 and the highest scoring yearling of the day.
The showjumping foal, Fashion Accesssory, took the third
highest score of the day achieving a score of 9 and an elite
premium for owner, Sandra Nicol. The Galerius filly, out of a
For Fashion mare scored particularly highly with a mark of
9.5 for frame and 9.5 for canter, both essential traits in a
showjumper.
