Another AES breeder celebrating great success at this year's BEF Futurity is Issy King. Her yearling  Cash Legend  scored a whopping 9.10. This makes him joint top scoring yearling with  Jorvik Star  not just for show jumping but for all disciplines. Cash Legend was also top scoring show jumper and yearling of the day at Hartpury. Our congratulations go to his delighted breeder, Issy King, whose success is all the more remarkable as this is only the second horse she ever bred.  Cash Legend is by the AES graded stallion Cash Point who is owned by Meadow Stud and currently competing internationally with Geoff Luckett.  Issy has exciting plans for her lovely yearling: "If he continues to develop as well as he has, I am hoping to grade him with the AES and stand him at stud in the future. But my main ambition for him is to start by having a very successful competition career!"   You can read more about the pair by going to the Horse and Hound futurity report:    http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/first-elite-premium-awarded-at-hartpury-futurity-506521  

We are delighted that AES breeders Kate and Tim Betteridge have been able to repeat last year's Futurity success with their homebred show jumping youngster, Jorvik Star (v Balou Star ). With an excellent score of 9.10, Jorvik Star was the joint highest scoring yearling not just for show jumpers, but across all disciplines.  http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/son-of-badminton-winner-top-of-the-class-506921#fV1vutABpgpIIpvh.01 Building on their success, Kate and Tim put their mare back in foal to Balou Star last year, resulting in another high quality foal, Kingston Star , who was the highest scoring show jumper at his BEF Futurity assessment at Arena UK, with a convincing Higher First Premium of 8.70.  http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/eventer-leads-the-way-at-arena-uk-futurity-506676 We congratulate Kate and Tim on their success and look forward to following their horses, who are clearly destined for great things, in future, flying the flag for Britain and the AES!
