EQUINE BRIDGE
& Futurity
There are some exciting developments in the pipeline for
2019 from the British Breeding team. The first of these is
the return of the Equine Bridge. The Bridge is a transition
for the best youngstock from the Futurity programme,
into a training and development scheme, the aim being to
ensure these talented youngsters get into the right hands.
On the flip side, our top British producers and riders get an
opportunity to source pre-selected and high quality young
sport horses on home soil.
The date of the 2019 Equine Bridge day has been confirmed
as 14th & 15th October at Addington Manor. Keep an eye on
the www.british-breeding.com website for details on the
Bridge programme and how to qualify.
Futurity
Planning is already underway for the 2019 Futurity series,
with the series again starting at the end of July, with a
week of assessments, followed by a second week at the
end of August. All the dates and venues will be announced
in full detail in the May edition of the magazine. This year
there will be specific dates for 3 year old eventers and
show jumpers, with the option of a preceding training
day to ensure the young prospects have the maximum
opportunity to impress.

International Workshop
Dr Eva Broomer has been invited to give a talk on the
Futurity’s linear scoring system at an International

audience and showcase the redeveloped linear scoring.
