STUDBOOK - UPDATES
We are proud of our linear scoring system, which provides a
description of the entire horse and all its gaits. To make sure
that we are completely up-to-date in our assessments, we
attend the annual WBFSH International Workshops on Linear
Scoring in the Warmblood Horse, where colleagues from all
international studbooks come together and compare their
scoring systems and evaluate a range of horses.
This gives us a great opportunity to set a global standard for
studbook assessments, something that we think is crucial
This gives us a great opportunity to set a global standard for

when it comes to supporting our breeders in producing future
FEI horses.

We will take photographs and video footage to help with
the online promotion, as well as with the production of a
high quality catalogue that will be sent out to thousands of
contacts. For the auction itself, we are again teaming up with
Brightwells who will handle the business side, enabling us
to use the popular Young Horse Championships at Addington
Manor EC as the perfect backdrop to the event.
We look forward to seeing your auction entries, if you want to
find out more, please contact Eva:
eva@angloeuropeanstudbook.co.uk who will book you in for
your auction assessment. Please make sure you get in touch
in good time for the selections to avoid disappointment.
AES Mare Gradings and Foal Evaluations
Mare gradings do not have to be daunting. Our evaluators
are very friendly, and it is important to us that you find the
experience useful and enjoyable. We organise several grading
tours alongside our various activities over the summer, as
well as stand-alone tours. You can come to one of our grading
venues, or we can come to you.
We are also very pleased to be supporting the Elite Foals
Registration Tour this summer, which will be a great
opportunity for British breeders. To find out more, why not
contact Eva or Lucy: eva@angloeuropeanstudbook.co.uk and
lucy@angloeuropeanstudbook.co.uk.
AES Stallion Gradings Spring Series
The AES team of national and international evaluators
enjoyed another successful and inspiring series of public
gradings this spring. Public stallion grading tours take place
twice a year, in the spring and in the autumn, using a series
of venues across the UK.
The AES mare grading system is an opportunity for you to
receive detailed and helpful feedback about your mares
and their offspring, and an opportunity for us to get a good
idea about the quality of all the AES broodmares and the
foals produced by the stallions licensed or recognised by the
studbook.
Cornet’s Pleasure
Stallions are given a detailed linear score feedback, which is
also accessible via our public database, thus giving breeders
useful information for their stallion choices. It is a pleasure
to introduce some of the new additions and welcome them to
our studbook:
At Northcote Stud, we licensed two different and very
promising young dressage stallions who will be available to
breeders on their initial license:
Mandy Sanderson of Longacres Stud presented a young
coloured stallion bred by Suzy Mainprice called First
Impression (UCS Flawless x Udo van Padhuis x Rubin Royal).
First Impression showed three good, correct gaits and a
powerful hind leg, as well as having very attractive markings
that will be of interest to many breeders of coloured horses.
