FOUR WINS FOR TEAM PASCAL
Success for 17 year old Samantha Thurman-Baker and her CB Sporthorse Spring Pascal just keeps piling up. On Friday 27th August at the Sheepgate British Dressage U25 Championships they started by winning the Hortech Systems sponsored Junior Team Championship with 73.38%. Less than an hour later they won the FEI Young Rider Team Championship with 71.97% (Sponsored by Aerborn UK and Falcon Feeds).
Next morning the pair began by taking first place in the Young Rider Championship with 71.84% (Sponsored by Aerborn and Falcon Feeds). In the afternoon they had another first in the Hortech Systems Junior Individual Championship on a score of 73.82%.
Read about Samantha and Spring Pascal's other achievements this year, including their recent win at Addington Regional Championships on Page 22 of the Magazine section.
EXCELLENT EQUIFEST
This year's show emphasized Equifest's claim to be one of the premeir events in the summer calendar. The first Equifest in 2008 attracted under 2500 entries. This year there were around four times that number in over 600 classes. This year and last, Equifest has also been host to the Cleveland Bay Horse Society Breed Show. A full list of classes on the Saturday was compemented by Equifest's own CB classes the next day.
Steve Pullan brought a string of horses to the show achieving remarkable success in several classes including the World Breeds classes on the Sunday. They stayed to appear in one of the final classes in the floodlit arena on Sunday night presenting CBs to an enthusiastic audience. Pamela Shipley took the I/H Pure stallion/gelding class with Barbarian Buccaneer. Carol Lines' Ineravon Beowulf won the foal class. In the I/H part bred classes honours were well spread with Jaguar Moon, Emily Williams' Lindon Joint Honours and Jemoon horses to the fore.
In the Ridden pure class, a win for Folds Veronica was particularly welcome for Sue Cutts and Cecilia Delville-Lindsay as the mare is now in foal. The Jemoon horses of Jane Moore and Liz Lloyd took the first two places in the part bred class and went on to be Champion and Reserve Ridden CB. It was especially pleasing to see Jo Davie's 29 year old veteran Gorwell Dancemaster taking part and looking so full of life.

WE REALLY MUST SUPPORT FLINTHAM 2010
For the third year running, Flintham & District Ploughing Match and Agricultural Show will include a Ridden Cleveland Bay class. But the number of entries on 23rd September will be crucial in determining whether CBs will be included in the future. Chris Graham, Light Horse Secretary for the Show, has been given £100 prize money to be awarded along with the Harrington Grenella trophy to the winner. This year entry fees to the CB class will be waived. There will be prize money to 4th and rosettes to 6th place. See our special Flintham Show page. Click to download the Schedule.

Cleveland Bays at Thame Show 31st July

The weather was warm and the sun was shining. The first Cleveland Bay classes to be included in the Oxfordshire County and Thame Show attracted just two horses, Jean Morgan’s mare Thomsonbrook England's Rose, and Rowena Scrimshaw’s 5 year old mare SainteLucie Celine Isolena. Judge Emily Harbour stood in for her injured mother Sue, a casualty of large haylage bales. The In hand class was watched by a lot of spectators, and with both horses well turned out they created a very favourable impression. Jean’s Mare (aka Missy) won the class with Rowena’s a close second. Prizes were awarded and Jean whisked her mare away to saddle up and warm up for the Ridden section. Unfortunately, Missy was the only contender as Celine is still at the early stages in ridden training. A lovely showing and a ride by the Judge affirmed the Mares potential, I hope with many of the spectators impressed by the Mares temperament and stunning presentation.
A Central Horse News reporter took details after the class with photos and a short report due in the September issue of the magazine.
So all in all, a lovely show, lots to see. In terms of organisation, with the horsebox park being right by the rings and the circus and noisy ‘scary’ things being on the other side of the show, there was a lovely calm atmosphere to the horse rings. (Except the Trade Wagons rolling past just before the class!) A Big thank you to the Organisers and stewards who kept things running smoothly. Several other classes were not as well attended as the organisers would have liked, with the clash of both the Royal International at Hickstead and the New Forest show, there was a nice local feel to the show.
I am determined to bring my Mare next year (As some of you know I have recently backed her and hope her to be a future star) along with many others commenting that they wouldn’t mind coming along to have a go at the class. So, mark 30th July 2011 in your diary and let’s hope for a bumper lot of Clevelands at next year’s Thame Show!
MAGGIE and MAGNUM - UPDATE
Well done Maggie Brown with her foal Ditchley Magnum. They have entered the Northern lists with a winning appearance at the Hinderwell Show on 6th August and a Second place at Danby Show a week later. With Kevin Bulmer showing for Maggie, Magnum has now won at Egton Show on 25th August. They are also entered for Stokesley on 18th September. This will mean that the foal will be in contention for the Sir Alfred Pease Trophy which is awarded on a total points basis from the four shows. Updated 26.8.10

GREEN LIGHT FOR NEW DNA RESEARCH
Following endorsement by the CBHS, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust is to match funding already offered by the University of Lincoln to test mitochondrial DNA in a representative sample of Cleveland Bays. The project is the initiative of Andy Dell, known worldwide for his adaptation of SPARKS to the analysis of Cleveland Bay breeding. This latest research aims to include horses from all known female ancestry lines.
Funding is sufficient to test 96 horses using hair samples. A shortlist was compiled from horses listed in the pure Stud Book, including grading register animals. Gender does not matter, as both males and females carry the mitochondrial DNA of their mother.
