I have just received these photos of my 3 year old Grannox (Grannus) x Sandro filly under saddle. She is the one that received an Elite from the BEF Futurity Evaluation. She looks very happy and relaxed in her work and has been a complete sweet heart, she is taking it all in her stride. We think she still has a fair bit of growing still to do, so she will be quietly hacked and ridden slowly during the winter. She will have a break early spring, and then back into work for the end of the summer.
I now can't wait until the British Young Horse Showjumping Champs at Addington next year 
Getting a well deserved pat
Striding out in the trot
Her first canter under saddle
Sorry pics are a bit blurry

Claire said that she has taken to her work under saddle so well. In the early days of her lunging, she could really throw in a massive buck (just high spirits and the joys of life), but under saddle she has been a little angel.
It is like watching your children's first day at nursery school. It is such a rewarding feeling seeing them born and then watching them grow up into little adults.
Here she is as a very cute baby
And now she is all grown up

She received a 1st Premium as a potential dressage horse too, so after seeing the photos, Claire and I might fall out over what her career path will be

Gosh - she looks soooo calm and relaxed about it all, bless her!
What a lovely girl. If my chap copes even half that well with his first days under saddle I will be thrilled to bits!
Your daughter seems like such a quiet and confidence-giving rider - no wonder the horse looks happy.
