Lauriston awarded Leading BEF Futurity Showjumping Sire
& Other excitement at the British Breeders Awards Dinner 2011.
The annual British Breeders Awards Dinner was held on Saturday 8th January at The Grange City Hotel, London. We were delighted to attend in order to collect the coveted Leading Showjumping Sire Award for our stallion Lauriston. This award recognises the stallion with the highest average progeny performance record for potential Showjumpers in the British Equestrian Federation’s Futurity Series of 2010.
Lauriston’s progeny have excelled in these evaluation series for some years now. He was sire of the 2006 Reserve Champion yearling Auriston Elite; sire of 2008 Overall Winning three year old Classictop Notch & sire of 2009 Elite Premium Sports Pony yearling Delaroche Laureve. In fact, Lauriston is currently the top ranked BEF Futurity stallion over all years and all disciplines.

The second cause for celebration at the Awards Dinner was Classictop Lancelot (Lauriston x Renkum Meranta) winning the BEF Futurity 2010 Leading Foal prize. Lancelot was bred & is owned by our good friend Jane Townshend. However, he was actually born here with us at Delaroche Stud. His dam Renkum Meranta is one of our long-term boarding broodmares. Meranta is a very special mare being out of the same dam as Irish International Jumping stallion Ringfort Cruise. Meranta & Lancelot returned to Jane’s East Sussex yard in August in order to attend the BEF evaluation at Plumpton College. Not only was Lancelot highest marked foal for the 2010 BEF Futurity series but he was actually the highest marked youngster in the entire 2010 series, having been awarded an incredible 9.46! We are looking forward to the arrival of a 2011 full sibling here at Delaroche stud – it certainly has big shoes to fill!
Finally, to add perfectly to the evening’s excitement our good friend Henk Minderman was awarded the Equestrian Edge Meritoire Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Breeding. Henk is founder of the world-renowned Renkum Stud and The Anglo European Studbook. He is an ardent supporter of British Breeding and this award was given primarily in recognition of The Anglo European Studbook & it’s achievements. The Anglo European Studbook is currently ranked 10th in the World Breeding Federation for Sports Horses studbook rankings for Showjumping and 4th for Eventing.
Personally, we have much to thank Henk for; he imported Lauriston & eventually gave in to my pleas & sold him to me. Many other British Breeders & Studs similarly have a lot to thank him for. It was fantastic to be present to see him receive this award along with the recognition, praise & thanks, which he so rightly deserves. It was also great that we managed to get him to the Awards Dinner under totally false pretences. The whole thing was a complete surprise, the look on his face when realisation hit was absolutely class!

Bernwode Evelina-S awarded the British Equestrian Federation’s Leading Sports Pony Dam 2009 -
On Saturday January 9th Lucy attended the annual Breeders Dinner & Award Ceremony at The Grange City Hotel, London to receive the award. This award recognises the outstanding offspring Evelina has consistently produced. Before joining us at Delaroche Stud she had already produced Hartpury College’s graded Sports Pony stallion Bernwode Benedict. Her first foal at Delaroche Stud was born in 2007, Delaroche Breve. In 2008 this filly, by FEI dressage pony stallion Bernwode Brokat, was the highest placed Sports Pony Yearling in the entire BEF Futurity Scheme, receiving 9.5 for athleticism!
2008 saw the arrival of Evelina’s colt foal Delaroche Laureve by our own stallion Lauriston. Continuing the success of her progeny in the 2009 BEF Futurity Scheme this yearling son received an Elite First Premium.
We are very excited to see what 2010 brings as Evelina is back in foal to Bernwode Brokat. She is due on 29th March & will hopefully produce a full sibling with the same exceptional quality, athleticism & trainability as both Benedict & Breve.
