We saw the 1st 6 then there was a break before another 4 went forward. That seems a high pass rate. The 1st 3 that graded we had picked out as the best of the 6 & my young friend is thinking of Bravado for her mare next year.

Still disapointed that there was no commentary. Im not asking the judges to justify, but to educate. By commentating on the pros/cons of each horse, would of for us anyway have confimed if we were seeing the same thing as the judges, or if we had in-fact missed something. Our view point after all is above them until you go down to meet the horses & are then stood at their level.

There are still no update on SHB UK's website. Thought I would remind myself of the breeding for these horses so had a look on NED.
Bravado, no listing
sir Suave, full info reg NTR
Zig-Zag, BSJA no breeding recorded
Zabantos, BSJA & AES no breeding recorded
sandro Sun 5 BEF Records no breeding recorded on any of them
Challenge Could find nothing that matched

Challenge is a KWPN by Lucky Boy out of a Woh i noor mare. I thought he was by far the best of the stallions forward. Obviously had loads of blood and quality about him and a super technique over a fence. I believe he is going stand in Lancashire. Nice horse!
