Future Perfect Illusion wins the Yearling Sporthorse Class at Midland Counties Show !
We took our young colt Future Perfect Illusion (by Future Illusion) over to Midland Counties Show for his first outing of the season. It was intended to be an educational outing as he’d not been to a show since the end of last season when he was still a foal at foot. Even a tyre blowing out on the lorry on the way to the Show, and subsequent hanging around on the roadside didn’t phase him. We missed the first class we’d hope to contest as a result of the puncture, and had over 3 hours to wait around once we reached the Show for his second class. He behaved impeccably both outside and inside the ring and was rewarded by winning the Yearling Sport Horse class. After being stuck on the lorry for so long on the way to the Show we were concerned that he might not want to load onto the lorry again to go home. Our concerns were groundless as he trotted straight up the ramp. We were absolutely thrilled with his attitude and behaviour during what was a testing day for a young colt, and winning his class was really the icing on the cake.
