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!
