Righteous
Birth year: 2013
Our lovely new 10 year old mare Amaretto Daisy came into her own today, so close to the win with a second place in the very competitive 3* 1.45 LR.
Daisy has previous links to the Whitaker family dynasty as she was produced and purchased from Ellen's brother Thomas Whitaker.
Ellen is "very excited for next season with the new lovely group of horses we have".
The good results kept coming at Peelbergen this weekend with exciting wins for Righteous, his second in 2 weeks, and Quainton X-Rated.
On Thursday, Tilly Shaw’s Righteous kept his form and skipped his way round the 2* 1.40 MT qualifier to take the win. Ellen’s new ride, Emma Phillips’ lovely home-bred stallion by Big Star, Quainton X-Rated looked extremely promising to take the win in the CSIYH1* 7 yo.
The weekend continued with consistent performances from all the horses. “I’m very lucky to have such a lovely bunch of horses and such supportive owners,” said Ellen “I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings.”
A field of 69 horses contended the Prijs Stephex Horse Trucks - CSI2* - Two Phases Special - 1.40m. In an exciting jump off in 34.95 Ellen and Righteous claimed the victory beating Max Routledge on Vanda Mclaren by nearly 2 seconds.
“He felt great,” said Ellen. “He’s so fun to ride an so game, he finished his round with a big smile on his face.”
