Much to the owner’s delight - ‘Roxy’ has been highly successful in her entries of the British Breeding BEF Futurity both as a yearling and as a 2 year old: As a yearling First Reserve at Solihull and as a two year old received a Higher First Premium at Arena UK, where she also received an award for the top ranking 2 year old. Furthermore, Roxy’s dam Westpoint Fanfare received a BEF Broodmare Diploma award.

"Top two-year-old at Arena UK was Joanne Wagstaff’s filly, Westpoint Rioja (Parsons Rasputin x Fulton) in the dressage section with a higher first premium of 8.50. Westpoint Rioja was bred by Edward Evans of the Westpoint Stud in Shropshire. This is the second time she has been to the Futurity, she gained a first premium of 8.40 as a yearling in 2014.

Joanne said: “Westpoint Rioja is the sweetest and easiest horse to do, her temperament is just wonderful. I knew of her breeding and knew Edward had bred her to be good natured and trainable. She has a home for life with me and I plan to compete her in dressage. I rang Edward on the way home from the Futurity and he was just as delighted as I was about Rioja’s score. A local friend here in Scunthorpe has just bought a full brother to Rioja.”" Source Horse & Hound website.
