BEST OF BREED : HUTCHINGS Mrs F Ch Foxearth Fluorescence At Molloney
|
PD (2) 1 Trundley’s Juniperwood King Of Kings, 10½ months tri with correct shaped head, lovely shape & good muscle condition. Unfortunately not the best showman; 2 Selley’s Dawcher Dawn’s Shadow, not as mature as 1 & a little feminine for me. JD (2) 1 Winter & Unwin’s Rowvale Rick Of Fortune at Snowtrekka, nice shape & reach of neck, pleasing side gait. Would like feet a little tighter; 2 Evans’ Southcombe Starman, a little heavy throughout, but has good rear angulation & in nice condition. PGD (2,1a) 1 Purvey’s Freejack Royal Knight, bl/m, would prefer more definition to his head & ear placement a little wide. Nice colour & good rear angles. LD (7,2) 1 Wallis’ Freejack First Knight at Norfield, tri with pleasing head but would prefer ears a little tighter, nice shape & correct proportions, showed well; 2 Clark’s Glenncorrie Beworthy for Astrellita, very showy chap with correct ear placement, just a little too short in back for me; 3 Trundley’s Lilymead Agamemnon. OD (5) 1 Lister’s Ch Eridor Im Mr Blu at Newarp, bl/m with pleasing front, nice overall shape, would like a little more neck & a little less of him throughout. CC; 2 Forbes’ Ch/Ir Ch Pelghart Paint It Black at Willowhurst, different type to 1, would prefer more forechest & to be slightly cleaner in backskull. RCC; 3 Evans’ Ch Manordeifi Smart Guy at Southcombe.
PB (3) 1 Campbell’s Glencorrie Dusky Diva, 10 months tri who was of correct size, sweet expression, needs to mature in head, in good condition. BP; 2 Trundley’s Juniperwood Final Affair, nice body shape & proportions, pretty head & expression. Just didn’t seem to enjoy her day out; 3 Burton’s Glencorrie Sunsationelle. JB (1) 1 Neff’s Hightri Until, blue who will be one to look for once she has fully matured, correct head shape with blunt end to muzzle, flowing lines throughout, good angles. RCC. PGB (4) 1 Evans’ Dawcher Decorum at Southcombe, lovely shape & proportions, would prefer ears to be a little higher set, in lovely condition; 2 Moores’ Manordeifi Penny Blue, a real showgirl, very sweet expression, good front but did not reach her full potential on the move; 3 Purvey’s Freejack A Touch Of Magic. LB (6,2) 1 Giddings’ Foxearth Gold Filligree, liked to show, covered the ground well, soft & sweet expression, lovely shape. Just a bit too much of her for me; 2 Coates’ Starlight Spirit at Pencloda, lovely on the move but lets herself down when stood, in between coats at present, super body shape & proportions; 3 French’s Lillymead Amazing Grace. OB (4,2) 1 Hutchings’ Ch Foxearth Fluorescence at Molloney, of correct size, but may look small due to height of others, lovely clear bl/m with super flowing lines, good forechest & body condition, just would like her more animated on the move. CC & BOB; 2 Moores’ Manordeifi Silver Dawn, very different to 1, bigger package overall which makes her less elegant, but another showgirl.
