Report<br />
The <strong>2020</strong> Stallion Event organised<br />
by <strong>British</strong> Breeding and sponsored by<br />
Baileys Horse Feeds in association with<br />
Competition Stallions, was held again at<br />
Addington on 8th February. With more<br />
stallions than ever taking part, the event<br />
allowed visitors to see some of the best<br />
sport horse and pony stallions standing<br />
in the UK. The stallions were showcased<br />
in the main arena under saddle,<br />
demonstrating their ability in their<br />
discipline with sections dedicated to<br />
dressage, show jumping and eventing.<br />
Stallions could also be viewed in the two<br />
stable blocks, enabling visitors to meet<br />
the horses and their connections.<br />
The doors opened at 9.30am and the<br />
first stallions to be shown in the arena<br />
were the eventers. The selection<br />
presented offered a good choice to<br />
breeders looking for a stallion with the<br />
genetic talent to produce a top level<br />
horse, without sacrificing temperament<br />
and trainability.<br />
Future Sport Horses presented three<br />
young stallions, including the four year<br />
old Future Guilty Pleasure, bred from the<br />
damline of Olympic medallist, Winsome<br />
Adante. Future Gravitas, by Grafenstolz,<br />
20 | BRITISH BREEDER<br />
is a half brother to Winsome Adante and<br />
has already proven himself competing at<br />
CCI** in eventing and <strong>British</strong> Dressage<br />
National Championships at medium<br />
and elementary level. Also from the<br />
stud were Future Prophecy, a 4 year old<br />
thoroughbred by Power Blade and was<br />
shown in hand, and Future Hepsilon, a<br />
3 year old exciting prospect out of a<br />
Heraldik mare.<br />
Another stud with multiple stallions<br />
forward was Catherston Stud from<br />
Hampshire. Opposition Bombshell<br />
is a homebred son of junior eventing<br />
medallist Fleetwater Opposition out of<br />
a Dutch Courage mare. He was joined<br />
by his son Catherston Oakley, a 6 year<br />
old who carries a second cross to Dutch<br />
Courage through his damsire Dutch<br />
Gold.<br />
Catherston also presented Tiger Attack,<br />
a very successful show horse who has<br />
also started eventing. Their final stallion<br />
was Timolin who showed the level of<br />
his dressage training with clear tempi<br />
changes under his usual eventing rider.<br />
