A PLUMLEY horse owner has gained an elite premium with her young horse at the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) Futurity.
Three-year-old filly, Wikipedia, owned by Hannah Markham, attained an elite premium of 9.04 in the dressage section at Solihull in August.
An elite premium indicates that the horse has the potential and outlook to perform at international level.
The BEF Futurity Evaluation series aims to identify British bred young potential sport horses and ponies destined for career in dressage, eventing, showcasing or endurance.
This is the second time Wikipedia has attained an elite Futurity premium. She also scored elite as a foal back in 2011.
“Wikipedia gaining her second elite was what we had all been hoping for, you can’t always say what’s going to happen on the day, however, it really was the cherry on the top,” said Hannah.
