Thanks Touchwood Stud and Taylored Equestrian (solihull futurity)

[madmare22]

just over two weeks ago i sent two mares and two foals to touchwood stud for futurity preping, one of the mares that i sent was very poor, she had improved so much in two weeks it was amazng. Today they took my mares and foals to solihull futurity. one i didnt think was going to do very well and only went for a day out and experience, the other i thought would do ok.

the one that i thought wouldnt do very well got a reult of 7.81 so a second premium,but quite a high second the other got a first premium and a score of 8.93 just missing out on elite status so thanks alot i am over the moon,

also as many of you will know taylored equestrian has been looking after my orphan for some time now. i would like to thank her for the time and effort she has put in and also for getting the filly ready for me and taking her to the futurity today. this filly scored a respectable 7.94 so again a second premium but again a high one.

That's great, it sounds like the HHO members have had another great day at the futurity.

Congratulations, don't forget we want to see pics please

Excellent result, you and the connections must be delighted, especially with an orphan foal.

Can I ask what the breeding is of the foals?

 

[madmare22]

certainly,

breitling w x broadstone chicago(donerhall)

benvenuto x scarlatti

stravinsky x should be good, nz bred mare

 

[Maggie2]

They sound really good bloodlines, and I have seen a Stravinsky foal which has also been very good.

Seems as if bringing him into the UK has been a very good move.

You will be ready for a drink by now, well done again, how nice to see the rewards of your breeding programme be such a success.

congratulations to all three of you. Sounds like you had a super day.

Well done!!!
I saw the Touchwood gang nattering in the cafe but didn't see them with anything equine in tow

I will be able to put faces to names when the professional pics go up though

Was lovely to prep two such delightful foals, they behaved absolutely immpecably, and I can't wait to see Poppy once she has put on even more weight, she's such a lovely mare and had picked up so much just in two weeks, I'm sure she'll be back to normal in no time and back to her old self.

Well done, was your foal the one with the pony mare? If so it was lovely

 

[madmare22]

no it wasnt the one with the pony mare but that foal was lovely too. just shows what a fab producer stravinsky is
