Photos from Breeders Elite's post Summer 2018 - It’s been a busy season for the Breeders Elite studbook with plenty of success in sport, and some exciting new stallions licenced and approved.
This year saw the first Breeders Elite registered competitor at the WBFSH World Breeding Jumping Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken, with Warrior Queen and Chris Franks representing Great Britain in the six year old section. They were placed in both qualifiers to make it into the championship final, where 43 were taken forward from an original 273, an unlucky four faults just keeping them out of the jump off to finish 23rd.
Warrior Queen was bred by Carl Duggan and is by Warrior out of an Unbelievable Darco mare, both stallions having been produced by - and prolific winners for - Brendon Stud. Jeremy Bingham purchased Warrior Queen in January of this year and the mare has since been ridden by Chris. They have had an excellent season leading to Lanaken with results including placings in the Winter Novice final and the All England 1.30m Championship at Hickstead, Le Touquet CSI1* Grand Prix and 3rd place in the British Bred 6 Year Old Final at Addington’s Young Horse Championships
The Hartpury Spectacular is growing year on year and once again Breeders Elite sponsored the young horse classes. The classes were very well contested with a great atmosphere and championship winners were Smirnoff AP Silvio and Helen Rees (4 year olds), Idodinus PP and Nicholas Edwards (5 year olds) and Billy Kiara and Josh Hutchins (6 year olds). We would also like to thank our generous sponsors, Shaw Farm Stud(the Hales family), Edwards Equestrian (Charly Edwards) and Renkum Stud. Next year’s show is already being planned and following this year’s success an additional day will be added.
We have had a busy summer assessing stallions and have some exciting new additions to our portfolio. Licensed stallions include 4 year olds Double M Jump Star (Elvis ter Putte x Lando x Cash) owned by Julian Mincher and Jupiter TN (Sandro Boy x Pilot x Weinberg), owned by Jake Elliott. Simon Crippen and Tim Peak’s 6 year old Premier Titinium (Taloubet Z x Cruising x Ballinvella) and Steven Franks 7 year old Gattaca (Numero Uno x Fastuoso x Condor) also join the ranks.
Team Z Seven’s Z Seven Ascot (Nonstop x Voltaire x Ramiro Z) is now fully approved following a successful season competing with Shane Breen in international young horse classes.
We are also pleased to have licensed two British bred stallions - Vaguely Noble O.L (Corland x Chin Chin x Voltaire), bred by Old Lodge and now owned by Jake Saywell and George Whitaker, and the Breeders Elite registered Buchanan (Tadmus x Heartbreaker x Zeus), a 5 year old bred and owned by Beth Gillespie.
We have had a busy season of foal registrations and were delighted to register our first foal by the double Olympic gold medallist Big Star. Owned and bred by Liz and Marie Edgar, Stardom is from a Kannan x Caritas dam and looks sure to live up to her name.
