Wishes presented with the Twemlows<br />
<strong>British</strong> Showjumping Scholarship<br />
Twemlows Stud, one of the UK’s leading<br />
artificial insemination and embryo<br />
transfer centres, run by Edward Matson<br />
and his family in Shropshire, is very<br />
kindly supporting <strong>British</strong> Showjumping<br />
by once again offering the Twemlows<br />
<strong>British</strong> Showjumping Scholarship.<br />
The Scholarship offers two embryo<br />
transfers to a horse that meets their<br />
chosen criteria. It is to be awarded to the<br />
highest placed <strong>British</strong> Bred mare at the<br />
end of the previous year on the <strong>British</strong><br />
Showjumping Top Horse League. The<br />
mare must also have been eligible for<br />
<strong>British</strong> Team selection during the same<br />
period and any previous winners are<br />
disregarded.<br />
Based on the above criteria, the 2019<br />
Twemlows <strong>British</strong> Showjumping<br />
Scholarship has been awarded to Claire<br />
Inglis’ homebred 12 year-old mare,<br />
Wishes.<br />
The objective of the Twemlows <strong>British</strong><br />
Showjumping Scholarship is to<br />
encourage owners to breed from the best<br />
mares whilst they are still competing at<br />
their optimum breeding age with minimal<br />
interruption to their competition career.<br />
Wishes claimed the scholarship<br />
following her rapid rise to success during<br />
the 2019 season with Claire’s daughter<br />
Amy. Wishes competed on two CSIO5*<br />
Senior Nations Cup teams successfully<br />
at La Baule and Hickstead and also<br />
went on to jump double clear for fourth<br />
place in the La Baule Grand Prix. Wishes<br />
was also part of the <strong>British</strong> Team that<br />
won the Les Talents Hermes Under 25<br />
competition at the CSIO5* Saut Hermes<br />
Paris Show. These results earned Claire<br />
the <strong>British</strong> <strong>Breeder</strong>s Award at the <strong>British</strong><br />
Showjumping Awards Ball in October<br />
and also assisted Amy in gaining her<br />
place on the World Class Potential<br />
Programme Squad.<br />
Wishes has a wealth of quality breeding,<br />
she is sired by Guidam, a Selle Francais<br />
stallion by the great Quidam De Revel.<br />
Along with Wishes, Guidam has sired<br />
many international showjumpers<br />
including Olympic Gold Medallist<br />
Authentic, ridden by USA’s Beezie<br />
Madden. Liranka, the dam, has<br />
bloodlines tracing back to stallions such<br />
as Wellington and<br />
Nimmerdor who<br />
also produced<br />
Olympic Gold<br />
Medallists.<br />
