The Elite Stallions Cup Winner 2024
We were delighted to see Sarah Bullimore and homebred Corimiro picking up the Elite Stallions Cup at Blenheim Palace in 2024!
Owned by Mr Brett Bullimore, Mr Bruce Saint, Christopher & Susan Gillespie, this eight-year-old gelding went on to contest his first 4*-L with Sarah in October at Boekelo. They were one of only 5 combinations that were clear inside the time and Corimiro was one of the youngest horses in the class. The pair went in to the last day in 2nd place but an unfortunate pole cost them the top spot, finishing on a very respectable score of 32 with the winners on 28.8!

The introduction of The Elite Stallions Cup has further enriched the competition, providing a platform to celebrate and promote British-bred horses. This initiative not only recognises individual excellence but also encourages the development and recognition of British breeding programs on an international stage.
