(Hunter Valley PSG 3/7/2016)
Tomfoolery R is a very quiet, dappled grey gelding and has competed successfully in eventing up to and including one star. He is a careful and straightforward jumper and would look after a junior rider. Tomfoolery R is bred to be a top-ofthe- range eventer and at the time of writing his last start at the Tamworth CNC 105 he placed 2nd. We expect Tomfoolery R to have his next start at Quirindi CCI in the one star. The weekend after competing at Tamworth was Tomfoolery R’s first FEI dressage start where he was 4th in Prix St Georges and 2nd in his very first Inter I. Tomfoolery R is good in shoulder in and half pass in both trot and canter. He has really good extensions, super flying changes, established tempi changes down to changes every second stride and has started training one-time changes. Tomfoolery R has started a bit of piaffe and shows a lot of talent in that area. Tomfoolery R is very quiet and very sound. Tomfoolery R is that rare horse that can perform at the high levels but is still happy to go for a trail ride. It is very rare indeed to have a horse as versatile as Tomfoolery R. It is even more rare to have a horse who is so capable in the two disciplines. It is really very rare for a horse so young to be so advanced. His sire, Gwaihirs Zodiac, was a successful eventer until injury cut short his promising future. Gwaihirs Zodiac is by the Italian import Zadkine (Laurie Morgan 1960 team and individual gold medallist, Rome Olympics) who carries the proven jumping lines of Grey Sovereign.
