Over 2011 Sovereign bred or trained horses have featured heavily in many of the top show results. David and Sarah have been breeding and show American Quarter Horses for over 30 years now, and their long standing breeding programme and show ring expertise really showed at the 2011 AQHA UK Breed Show. The large Halter Classes were dominated by Sovereign bred horses with
Snippers Mito Bella,
Snippnbelles Star, Snips Silver Dollar (at her first show) and
Poppett Smoked A Jay all going Grand Champion. Additionally, Snippers Mito Bella's daughter
Jays Whiskey Girl and
Jays Dene (by Jays Smokin Story out of a SQH mare and owned by Jackie and David Teideman) went Reserve Grand Champions.
In the performance classes, David was second reserve AQHA UK Champion in Open Western Pleasure on
Jays Centrefold owned by Tracy Haynes. Sarah won the RISK Ltd AQHA UK Trail Maturity (following on from winning the Futurity last year) on Dorothy Coleman's
Snippnbelles Star who has had consistent results in trail throughout 2011 and is now very close to winning her performance Register of Merit and her grand championship at this show should have confirmed her Amateur Halter Register of Merit.
David has also had some great results this year with home bred youngsters in the reining arena.
Snippers Son N Heir scored a 70 in his first NRHA class earlier this year and David riding Linda Joynes'
Classie Jay has never been out of the top three in all his classes this year and won the AQHA UK Risk Ltd Reining Futurity/Maturity.
David also made a return to Trail classes this year with
Chief n Command earning points in Green trail with second places in extremely large classes.
Just goes to show, 30 years experience really does makes Sovereign the Home of Champions!
