Juswith Genoa's son wins the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses 'Leading Event Horse of the Year' for the 3rd time in 4 years!
Winsome Adante has topped the FEI points scoring table for the 3rd year out of four following his successes at the Rolex CCI**** and the Athens Olympics, finishing the year with a total of 266 points. Philip Dutton's 'Nova Top' was second on 221, with the Modified Rolex winner 'Windfall' in third on 216 points.

The top 3 British horses, Lord Killinghurst, The Psephologist and Ballin Coola finished in joint 5th and 7th places respectively. Jeanette's horse 'Over To You' was placed 9th with Limestone Rise, Primmore's Pride and Shear L'eau taking 12th, 16th and joint 17th respectively.

The only year since 2001 that Winsome Adante has not been the highest scoring horse was 2003 when he could not contest many events due to his rider Kim being sidelined with a broken leg for most of the season.

We're all looking forward to what 2005 will bring as 'Dan' is still only 11 years old !

Juswith Genoa's son wins individual Silver & Team Bronze Medals at Athens Olympics!
Winsome Adante and Kim Severson were the leading combination for the Americans at Athens Olympics, being rewarded with an Individual Silver and Team Bronze medals. After a very good dressage, Dan moved into 3rd after a clear inside the time on the cross country phase. Even with 2 rounds of showjumping in which he lowered 1 pole in each round, he secured his 2nd place behind Britain's Leslie Law.

Another reason to celebrate was the 10th place in Athens for Withcote Nellie, Juswith Genoa's paternal half-sister! Two close relatives in the Top 10 at the Olympics - let's keep our fingers crossed that this family continues to produce such stunning horses!

Holme Grove Genevieve delivers stunning Prokofiev daughter!
At 4.10am this morning, Genevieve delivered a big, strong, stunning filly by the sensational dressage stallion Holme Grove Prokofiev, who has been extremely successful recently under Peter Storr. We are thrilled with this filly who will stay in our herd as a competition prospect and future broodmare, due to her exceptional bloodlines and fabulous conformation. Bred back to thoroughbreds we hope to produce that illusive combination of movement, jump and speed. Fingers crossed for the next phase of our breeding programme!

Juswith Genoa produces and elegant bay sister for Winsome Adante!
After 11 years Juswith Genoa has produced only her second foal on Wednesday 12th May at 9.35pm, the first being the famous 'Winsome Adante', double winner of the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** in 2002 & 2004. Unfortunately, 'Danny's' sire 'Saunter' died the year Danny was born and with Saunter leaving no stallions sons, it was impossible to reproduce that line. However, with the help of Juswith Genoa's breeder, Marian Vaughan, who was instrumental in the selection of Saunter for the original breeding, we scoured books of stallions to find one similar in conformation and movement to Saunter. After many months, we found 'Andes' and Sporthorse (GB) graded throroughbred stallion who not only had the looks, the size and the temperament, but also had off-the-ground, sensational movement.

11 months later, Juswith Genoa has rewarded us with an elegant, charming filly foal. A visit from the Gooch's who bred Danny quickly followed the birth, bringing with them some photos of Danny as a new foal. To our complete astonishment, if it weren't for slight difference in the white markings, they were identical. So much so, that they could have been the same foal. The Gooch's also believe this filly is slightly taller than Danny, so she will hopefully reach that ideal 16.1hh. She will be retained by Future Sport Horses as a potential competition horse and broodmare, and will probably be bred as a 3 year old to perpetuate this very successful line, before commencing a competitive career herself.

Not only is this our first foal of the season, but it is our first 2nd generation foal, as Future Illicit Affair was the first foal bred by Future Sport Horses. He was very quickly on to his feet and has no white markings at all. He is incredibly similar to his mother when she was born - let's hope he ends up as nice !

Future Eclipse does it again winning the CIC 1* in Ballindenisk !
Future Eclipse scored back to back wins by taking the CIC 1* at Ballindenisk in Ireland on her second outing of the season, following her CIC 1* win at Barroca d'Alva in Portugal last month. As in Portugal, she led from beginning to end, posting a dressage score of 41.3 - an astounding 13 marks better than her nearest rival. With a clear cross country, and lowering just 1 forgiveable pole showjumping in what was bottomless mud, she ran out a clear winner of the section.

Our rider, Yarda Hatla had a brilliant weekend not only taking the CIC 1* with Future Eclipse, but was 2nd in the CIC 2* section with his horse 'Karla', and rode exceptionally to take the CIC 3* section on his Athens prospect 'Kyrenejenallas Boy'.

Well done Yarda, what a weekend !!

Future Eclipse shines in the sun in Portugal winning the CIC* and upgrading to Advanced
Future Eclipse kicked off the season in fantastic style by taking the CIC* in Barroca D'alva in Portugal finishing more than 8 points clear of her nearest rivals. She led from beginning to end, finishing on her dressage score. She was one of only 9 horses from a field of 78 to produce a double clear, one of only 5 horses to finish on their dressage score, and the only horse in the top 10 to showjump clear in a competition where all 3 phases had significant influence.

This win means Future Eclipse has now upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced.
