Catherston Timpany (Timolin x Tagula) scored an elite premium of 9.00 in the eventing section. Jenny Loriston-Clarke her owner and breeder said:
“She is a lovely filly and is bred to event. It was nice to see she was more appreciated this year by the Futurity evaluator.”
Timpany received a higher first Futurity premium in 2015. She was lucky to get to the Futurity, Jenny added:
“Timpany had a poisoned foot that went quite deep a few weeks ago. It was only just better in time.”
A horse produced for the Futurity by Jennie also attained an elite premium at Catherston. This was Wayfarer (Woodlander Wavavoom x HB I Rubin-Royal), a three-year-old dressage gelding that attained an elite score of 9.05. Wayfarer is by Woodlander Wavavoom out of a mare, Rubianna. Wayfarer was bred by Matheson Stud in Shaftesbury and is owned by Valerie Jones. Jennie said:
“Valerie is delighted with the elite premium, Wayfarer is a big moving horse that we have backed and hacked about over the summer. He will come back to us in January to be produced for the four-year-old classes and the Equine Bridge.”
A three-year-old eventing sports pony, Catherston Bobby Dazzler (Littledale Bright Star x Number One Guy) gained a higher first premium of 8.93 for Jennie, who added:
“He loves his jumping, the Futurity was only the third time he has jumped. He loves doing things and could go off to do showing, dressage or eventing. He is a quick learner too, I was long-reining him yesterday and he will probably be off out riding next week.”
Bobby Dazzler is out of Catherston Georgia.
Also scoring an elite premium at Catherston was filly dressage foal, Suzie Seagry (Tolegro x Stedinger) with premium score of 9.05 for her owner and breeder, Keith Taylor of the Seagry Stud in Chippenham.
