Waltons Top Flight and Lauren Fois

Walton’s Top Flight, aka ‘John Boy’ is a 16.1hh KWPN Dutch bred gelding. He was bought by us as a 4 year old with a view to show jumping, having Oklund/Concorde/ QuickStar/Burggraaf in his bloodlines. He was green and rather weak when he arrived, but as with all our horses he has been doing flat work along the Classical lines which has gradually built him up. This has given him a really good grounding to move on with his jumping, and has helped immensely with balance and turns.

Lauren is progressing well with John Boy, who is now seven. He has progressed through the ranks and is now jumping double clears in Foxhunter and qualified for next years second rounds.

He qualified for the second round newcomers this year and got through to the Scope Welsh Masters by coming 5th out of 107 competitors at Addington. This is as close to the Horse of the Year Show as Lauren has got so we have everything crossed.
