Seeing as its now up and running, just wondering if anyone is going ?
I thought I would take my yearling this year, and see whats new.

I took my 2 year old to Writtle and got the only Elite. Now have had two Elites with two 2 yr olds by my Welsh D stallion, so really chuffed especially as the evaluators were so strong at Writtle. Had all of them come up and want to talk about the horse and my plans for him. Thats never happened before! Really pleased it's gone back to the old format of a panel of evaluators, much fairer. I agree about the younger ones being scored much lower. All the yearlings apart from the sports pony, scored 2nd premium, and there were some nice types there. Still, it has to mean something if they are trying to target potential international horses, and people do need to think long and hard about what they are trying to breed, and not look through rose tinted glasses.
Congratulations on your elite!
I was pretty shocked at how many horses presented were still entire and really had no business being so. I wonder if the marks will mean a few busy vet scalpels this autumn?!

I noticed that too, and couldn't agree more about people having rose tinted spectacles. Frank had his whipped off at the beginning of the year.
Congratulations cundlegreen, that's an amazing achievement. Not only home bred, but by your own stallion too. I missed your 2 year old. I was watching , but then had to pop out and do some work, and missed it. Will you take him as a 3year old ?
