Our second outing this year, Onley Grounds Equestrian Complex, Rugby. The event was held by the United Saddlebred Association-UK and Foreign Breed Society, a European Championship Show with a programme packed with classes to suit ALL Foreign Breeds.
Todays Redheart was DFR Patahas Redheart aka Blu, our two-year-old licensed stallion. After a winter out and the Spring grass just recently, he is looking mighty fine.
The first class was Home Produced, open to pure or partbred Foreign Breeds. This class was indoors and very well supported. Blu was very settled and gave a great performance taking the second place to a beautiful Fjord.
Our second class, open Foreign Breed Youngstock, another well-supported class that resulted in a first place!
These placings qualified us for the Open Foreign Breed In Hand Championship.
Our next two classes were outside, a glorious sunny day and the testosterone certainly kicked in. With two rings running next to each other, Blu was quite interested in the goings on in the next ring? Quite a distraction for him but these things he must get used to and get over…
Our third class, Foreign Breeds with broken coats, what a mixture of beautiful horses, a fantastic second place, and our last class, Appaloosa with a free win as we were the only competitor. Disappointing but we made it our advantage, giving Blu an opportunity to have a proper good look at the ring next door!!!
These placings qualified us for the World Breeds In Hand Championships.
The Open Foreign Breed In Hand Championship & the World Breeds In Hand Championships.
These two Championships consisted of the first and second placed horses in over 16 classes.
Honored, with Reserve Champion in both classes!
Our Reserve Champion positions put us forward to the Supreme In Hand Championship.
We took the Reserve Supreme In Hand, absolutely overwhelmed!
