Clydesdale filly Tulloes Emily has continued her phenomenal run of success, taking the supreme Clydesdale championship at the National Stallion Show at Fenwick in Ayrshireho
This three-year-old home-bred filly from Jim and Louise Greenhill, Upper Tulloes, Forfar, took no fewer than ten championships last year, including the supreme World Show championship at Aberdeen in October.
She also lifted the title of Clydesdale champion of champions in Lanark in November and was champion at Spring Show last week.
By past Cawdor Cup winner, Arradoul Balvenie, she is out of the Collessie Stepping Stone daughter, Tulloes Lady Jane.
The prestigious Cawdor Cup was awarded to Singlie Apollo, a yearling colt from Tom Tennant of Ettrick, Selkirk.
This home-bred son of Singlie Limited Edition, who himself is by Collessie Challenger, and the dam is the Bratlach Ballintoy-sired mare, Mollinhillhead Lady Claire.
He was best junior colt foal at the World Show and at the Winter Fair.
Tulloes Emily won 10 championships in 2022
It was a real team effort from the family steeped in Clydesdale history, but lifting the top award for the first time, with Tom being ably assisted by his brothers Jimmy and Peter, brother in-law Robbie and nephew Alex as they lifted the Cawdor Cup and the reserve supreme title.
Standing reserve for the Cawdor Cup and reserve male champion was the second prize yearling colt, Littleward Harvie, from Robert Bedford of Liversedge, West Yorkshire. Bred in Stirlingshire by Matthew Carrick, Harvie is a son of Collessie Monarch, out of Littleward Natalie.
The reserve female champion was Willow Way Qena, a seven-year-old mare from Sandy Anderson.
Sandy of Grandstand Media and the Thistledown Stud has his Clydesdales stabled at Drumbauchly, Crieff, where they are produced by Ron Brewster.
Imported from Canada last year, having been bred by Wes Gordeyko, Qena is by Deighton Zoom, out of Willow Way Jorja, and stood second at the World Show in October.
For only the second time in National Stallion Show history, it was the miniature champion who took the supreme Shetland honours.
This was Halstock Annie from David Hodge and Julian Walters of Devon.
By Kerswell Warrior, out of Halstock Aniseed, Annie lifted five junior championships last year as well as three overall supreme Shetland titles and the NPS Silver Medal.
Show chairman, John Watson’s Kerloch Rupert was champion standard and this 17-year-old stallion no stranger to the limelight, having taken the same award at the stallion show six times, as well as two Great Yorkshire Show championships.
His sire is Stow Review and dam, Burnbank Veda.
The prestigious Cawdor Cup was awarded to Singlie Apollo
David Hodge and Julian Walters also took the reserve standard championship, making the nine-hour journey north from Devon well worth it.
Sharptor Kinsman is a seven-year-old stallion by Sharptor Laser Red, out of Laddyll Kimberley.
He was reserve standard and reserve supreme at last year’s event, before taking numerous summer show championships and standing reserve HOYS pony champion.
Reserve miniature was Gillian McIntosh’s Ardanbeag Muscari, a yearling filly by Ardanbeag Lomond and out of Ardanbeag Trinity’s Magnolia. She was on her first outing.
In the Highland Pony ring, the championship was awarded to Shirley Clarke of Lockerbie.
Her four-year-old stallion, Orion O’ the Glens was bred by John Reid and bought as a foal.
By Glenbanchor Gilibridge, out of Heather Bell O’ the Glens, he was champion at the NCPA youngstock and the NPS youngstock shows last year.

Taking the reserve title was the five-year-old Benromach of Forglen from Lynn Paisley.
By Marnonwells Gleann Eagas, out of Hannah of Forglen, he was bought in 2021 from Gordon Towns, has recently been gelded and backed so looks set for a great future.
