VODKA ICE SHOWS SPIRIT

Burghley Young Event Horse - four-year-old qualifier

Vodka Ice ridden by Emma Winter was the winner of the first competition to be held at this year's Festival of British Eventing, presented by BETA. Vodka Ice was the winning horse in the four-year-old Burghley Young Event Horse qualifier for a place in the final at Burghley Horse trials at the end of the month.

The grey, almost white, Thoroughbred is by the Sadlers Wells son Accondy, who used to stand at nearby West Kington Stud and was bred by his owners, Mel and Robert Puddick who are based at Charlton near Malmesbury. Vodka Ice is out of their homebred mare Seahorse, who is by the former James Fanshawe trained grey Environment Friend. She is a sister to our advanced event horses Henbitten and Applemoss but we kept her purely for breeding to keep the line, said Robert Puddick who now has nine broodmares to breed from.

Cumbrian rider Ruth Edge was second on Elite Opposition owned by Anne Lawson. The black gelding is by the popular Trakehner event sire Fleetwater Opposition while Alison Lidstone was third with the Irish-bred Tullabeg Roller by the Cavalier Royale son High Roller.


Result: 1, Vodka Ice (E Winter) 77; 2, Elite Opposition (R Edge) 76; 3, Tullabeg Roller (A Lidstone) 75; 4, Willows Accent (R Allen) 74; 5, High Time (G Law) 71.
