Future Illusion is an athletic bay colt with an exquisite head and no white markings at all. He has demonstrated his versatility by winning in the show ring as a foal, yearling and 2 year old across a wide variety of classes. He scored the highest mark for 'athleticism' at the 2005 British Equestrian Federation Futurity Show (out of all ages and all disciplines) with an amazing 9.1 out of 10.
His bloodlines are exceptional - he is by the ELITE stallion & Double European Junior Eventing Gold Medallist Fleetwater Opposition, out of the HEAD Stud Book, Champion Sporthorse and Champion Hunter broodmare Future Illicit Affair. Fleetwater Opposition's legacy lives on through his offspring - he sired the 1st AND 2nd place horses in the 2007 4 Year Old PAVO BE Breeding Championships which was an encore to siring the 5 & 6 Year Old Winners in 2003 and 2004! With the addition of top class National Hunt breeding in his motherline, which descends from the legendary Spiritus, we hope Future Illusion will prove to be an exceptional sire of athletes.
He has been backed by Olympic Medallist Jeanette Brakewell who reported that he is very trainable, very rideable and had a canter you could sit on all day. He is very settled in yard life and is very quiet and easy to handle. All of which bodes well for his ridden career. The grooms said he had a big personality without an ounce of malice. We are delighted that Jeanette has agreed to take the ride on Future Illusion for 2008 which we intend to be a quiet, educational season.
He is already demonstrating naturally balanced paces with a very active hind leg and free shoulder. He has also begun loose jumping recently and is proving to be scopey and very careful.
Future Illusion will be combining his training schedule with stud duties in 2008. He will be available by fresh, chilled and frozen semen via Tullis Matson at Stallion AI Services. We will have frozen semen for International shipment from the end of April. In 2008 he already has a number of CCI**** and Advanced mares booked to him as well as showing mares.
