WFFS Negative

Outstandingly good looking stallion by an Elite stallion out of a SHB(GB) Head Stud book mare with the rare ability to sire both International Eventers and HOYS show horses.

Already the sire of numerous International event horses, he already has horses competing successfully at CCI4* level.

He is also a favoured sire of Show horses, siring the HOYS In Hand Supreme Champion in 2021. He was honoured to be selected by Queen Elizabeth II for one of Her own mares and the offspring was placed 3rd at HOYS in 2022 with Katie Jerram-Hunnable.  

Future Illusion was a successful event horse, dressage horse and show horse himself we he achieved whilst also standing at stud. He was a Champion Foal, a Champion Futurity Eventer, Champion Show horse and a Champion Futurity Sire.

WFFS negative.

  • Future Illusion is:
    Sire of CCI4* Eventers, Express Eventing Winners, Burghley Young Event Horses and Badminton Grassroots Finalists
  • Sire of HOYS Supreme Champions
  • Champion BEF Futurity British Bred Stallion All Disciplines (2009 and 2010)
  • Champion BEF Futurity Sire of Eventers
  • A British Eventing top ranking sire
  • Sire of National Futurity Champion Eventers and Res. Supreme Champions

His bloodlines are exceptional – he is by the Elite stallion & Double European Junior Eventing Gold Medallist Fleetwater Opposition, out of the Head Stud Book SHB(GB), Champion Sporthorse and Champion Hunter broodmare Future Illicit Affair.

Fleetwater Opposition’s legacy lives on through his offspring – Yarlands Summersong (Olympic, World and European eventer), Opposition Buzz (European Team Gold Medalist) and many other Advanced eventers, as well as BE Young Horse Champion Opposition Heracles. Yarlands Summersong also went on to sire the CCI5* eventer Leprince des bois.

Future Illicit Affair carries in her pedigree the great Skippy - sire of Jumbo who is sire of so many top eventers including Burghley, Badminton and kentucky winner Headley Brittania as we well as Roz Canter's CCI5* rising star Pencos Crown Jewel. With the addition of top class National Hunt breeding on her bottom line which descends from the legendary Spiritus, and the Gold Cup winner Fortina, this mix of TB and trakehner blood is a superb combination for modern eventers.

A unique stallion who has the outstanding beauty and movement to produce the very best Show horses, but that also passes the toughness, athleticism and trainability to also reach the very top in International sport.

A true jewel in British breeding.
