2011 BEF FUTURITY - TOP PONY SIRES' PROGENY

Back to 2011 Futurity Main Results Page

The BEF have produced league tables for the sires and dams of the 2011 entrants.

Top Pony Sires 2011.  This year, the BEF reviewed the rules for the British Breeders Futurity Sire Award and increased the minimum number of progeny to 5 (from 3 in previous years).  As a result, just 2 stallions had enough (that is 5 or more) pony progeny forward to appear in the Pony Sires ranking list - but both are SPSS graded!  However, the BEF also published the Average of Top 3 Scores and that information is also included in the table below and is is notable that the top 5 sires are all SPSS graded and all have an average across all their 2011 scores of at least First Premium standard.  To see the progeny scores that made up the Averages, click on the appropriate "Here".  Note that only progeny designated by the owner as a "Sports Pony" when entering the Futurity Evaluations are included on the list.  For a list of all progeny from SPSS graded sires evaluated in 2011, click here.

The Premiums are explained and defined here.  Data supplied by the BEF - search the results for yourself here

Premium	Criteria
Elite (9.00 or above)	A horse or pony that has an average of excellent or very good scores across the criteria to be assessed which means that it has the potential and the outlook to perform well at international level, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden.
Higher First (8.50 - 8.99)	A horse or pony that has an average of very good or good scores across the criteria to be assessed which means that it has the potential and outlook to perform well at national level, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden. The difference between a higher first and a first is that the evaluators believe it shows greater athleticism and a greater potential to perform well so as to set it apart from a First premium horse.
First (8.00 – 8.49)	A horse or pony that has an average of very good or good scores across the criteria to be assessed which means that it has the potential and outlook to perform well at national level, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden.
Second (7.50 – 7.99)	A horse or pony that has an average of fairly good or good scores across the criteria to be assessed which means that it has the potential and outlook suited to performing consistently within affiliated, riding club and unaffiliated competition, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden.
Third (7.00 – 7.49)	A horse or pony that has an average of fair or fairly good scores across the criteria to be assessed which means that it has the potential and outlook suited to performing in certain competitions, if veterinary guidance is followed and the horse or pony is appropriately cared-for, produced and ridden.
FUTURITY SCORE RANGE 0 Not shown; 1 Very poor; 2 Poor; 3 Fairly Poor; 4 Not acceptable; 5 Acceptable; 6 Fair; 7 Fairly good;  8 Good; 9 Very good; 10 Excellent Futurity scores are an indicator on the day of assessment, not a guarantee of future potential
