Superflex Intermediate I Gold Winter Championship

Winners: Dannie Morgan & Knoxx's Figaro, 72.5%

A rainy NAF Five Star Arena didn’t stop the riders in the NAF Superflex Intermediate I Gold Championship as they lit up the arena to produce a top notch class of dressage tests, with Dannie Morgan and Knoxx's Figaro taking the top spot.

British Dressage Reported..

The Shearwater Six Year Old Championship yielded another British winner, this time it was a mare bred at the High Hoes Stud in West Sussex. High Hoes Estelle (Escolar x Luadabilis) was bred by Nicky Callum and she continues to own a stake in her with rider Dannie Morgan. Dannie took her on as a recently-backed leggy five year old and the mare has taken some time to mature due to her size but in recent weeks, their patience has been rewarded. The combination produced a fluent, supple and elastic test in front of judges Helen Bradley and Maria Eilberg which they duly rewarded with 83%.

A delighted Dannie said’ “I’m so excited – for me but also Nicky, her breeder and co-owner. Nicky isn’t a large scale breeder but concentrates on quality and mixing ideal bloodlines. Estelle is very big and has taken time but in the last six months she’s really found some strength. My trainer Nicky Barratt has really helped bring her on and she’s already showing a talent for piaffe and the collected work. Nicky has her full sibling due next year which will be exciting.” he Shearwater Six Year Old Championship yielded another British winner, this time it was a mare bred at the High Hoes Stud in West Sussex.
