Sue Jagger and Brian Thompson of
the Millfield Stud in Settle, Torkshire
gained elite premiums with two
showjumping three year olds they
have bred. Millfield Gizelle attained an
elite premium of 9.16 and colt, Quinlan
Z achieved an elite premium of 9.00.
Millfield Gizelle is by the stallion Cicero
van Paemel and out of a mare, Ulinda
H, who is by Salamon. Sue Jagger
said, “Ulinda H jumped in 1.20 and
1.30 classes before going breeding.
We are very pleased with Gizelle, she
had never left the yard before and
performed beautifully. We went to the
Futurity with qualification for equine
bridge selection in our minds for her”.
The second horse from Millfield to
score an elite premium at Southview
was the Anglo European Studbook

Janie Parkinson’s dressage filly
foal, White Mischief scored an
elite premium of 9.13. Janie from
Nantwich said, “I am so chuffed, White
Mischief was an unplanned foal, we
took another mare to Twemlows for
an embryo transfer foal and White
Mischief’s dam, Lady de la Bouviere
was meant to be the recipient mare.
We failed to get the other mare to
take and so decided to put Lady de
la Bouviere in foal to Wavavoom and
White Mischief was the result”.
White Mischief is the fourth foal Janie
has bred. She bred the first one over
twenty years ago and still has her
now. Janie continued, “The Futurity
is brilliant for the young horses,
the expert opinions offered by the
evaluators are very useful and the
venue is in a safe environment for

the young horses. White Mischief will
return to the Futurity as a three year
old to hopefully get a result so she can
be considered for an equine bridge
selection day”.
Janie added, “I have had a bit of a
rough time the last few years and
spent six months in hospital having
spinal surgery. This has really made
me feel good about things again and
I smile every time I think about how
well White Mischief has done”.
Nicola Dyson from Ewloe, Flintshire
gained two higher first premiums with
her foals Mordis Mateo and Mordis
Diamanto. This is the first year Nicola
has bred foals. She said, “I am really
pleased with them both. The Futurity

and the feedback we received was very
helpful”.
Colt foal, Mordis Mateo achieved a

Mateo’s dam. Daisy Dressman has
competed at Medium level dressage
