The Suffolk Spectacular, held in early September 2023, rounded up all the winning horses at the year’s shows in order to select the Supreme Champion. This year Colony Eli achieved this, with Colony Gremlin just behind him.
This is a fantastic accomplishment for the Trust and we are rightly delighted and proud. Both stallions are entirely home bred at Hollesley (hence the Colony prefix). There is no greater achievement for a breeding stud like ours, than to have a home bred Supreme Suffolk Champion.
Immense credit must go to Tracey, our Stud Farm Manager, who has planned and bred both these stallions and has overseen their development since the day they were born. Huge credit also goes to Lily and Emily, who prepared both stallions for the shows and then handled them so well in the rings.
Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers at The Suffolk Punch Trust who have worked so hard throughout the summer season.
