In 2011, a total of 7 new stallions and 21 new mares have graded into the SPSS studbook.
The main 2011 grading took place in the wonderful new indoor complex at Bury Farm Equestrian Centre on the 1st October. The results are given below, with links to each pony's breeding.

An additional, mare only grading was held on the 11th December and another 6
mares were graded. |
All the stallions below passed assessment at the Main Grading in 2011 and were awarded a license for an initial period of 3 years. Licensed stallions have their performance and/or progeny monitored by the SPSS. The grading judges were Herr Hans-Heinrich Bruening, Mrs Celia Clarke and Mr Geoff Glazzard.
The SPSS 2011 Stallion Champion was the 2 year old, Wadacre Super Trooper. Bred and owned by Jeanette Matthews-Griffiths, this WBS-UK colt is by the Hanoverian, Sarkozy out of British Warmblood, Wadacre Watch Me. Sarkozy was winner of his stallion performance test and vice-Bundeschampion and is by the famous sire, Sandro Hit out of a Weltmeyer mare. Super Trooper's dam is by the Hanoverian, Waikiki of Wadacre, out of a British Riding Pony mare. Jeanette was thrilled that Wadacre Super Trooper won the Semen Freezing Package, kindly offered by www.Equine-Reproduction.com LLC.
Reserve Champion was another 2 year old, Bathleyhills Monet. Monet was bred by his owner Penny Walster of Bathleyhills Stud in conjunction with Sabine Meiners of Hilkens Stud, Germany. Monet is by the German Riding Pony sire Casino Royale K out of Mona (by Matcho) and Monet was 2010 SPSS In-Hand Show Champion.
Salima Keswani’s Sunwillow Jubilee, was a very close runner up to the Reserve Champion and is the second WPCS Section A to grade with the SPSS. Nine year old Jubilee doesn't let his diminutive 117cm height prevent him from competing against horses at Affiliated Dressage and has won both points and rosettes at Novice level.
