British Breeder Magazine November 2019

NOVEMBER ISSUE - INDEX
Inside this issue
It’s been another busy summer for the
team at British Breeding, and we are
immensely grateful to all those who
have supported our activities, from
our incredible panel of evaluators,
vets, scorers and stewards to our
breeders and sponsors who all
contribute so much to make it happen.
The Futurity proved to be extremely
popular yet again, with good entries
and the veterinary and evaluating
panel working long hours to ensure
every exhibit had a thorough assessment.
The series concluded with the
Championship Show at Solihull, and
a report on each of the venues and
the championship is included in this
edition with some super photographs
supplied by Kevin Sparrow Photography
& Horsepower Creative.
Plans are already underway for the
2020 series with more improvements
and tweaks in the pipeline.
The newly relaunched Equine Bridge
was well received, and participants
enjoyed the opportunity to train with
world class trainers Peter Storr, Yogi
Breisner and Corinne Bracken. We
have received excellent feedback
from the inaugural event which is
invaluable as we develop and improve
the concept for 2020. The team are
working closely with the Olympic
disciplines to ensure the Bridge
provides the best opportunity for this
young equine talent to develop and go
on to compete at the highest levels.
The team also organised the stallion
parade at Burghley Horse Trials, which
showcased a range of talented British
based sires, offering mare owners a
good variety when making their 2020
breeding choices.
Next are prepara tions for The
Stallion Event which will be held again
at Addington on Saturday 8th February.
Bookings are open and stallion owners
can book their stud adverts for the
magazine, their entry in the
Competition Stallions Guide and their
entry for the Stallion Event all in one
booking.
And finally, we look forward to seeing
many of you at the Celebration Ball to
be held on 9th November at Grittleton
House, Chippenham, where we will be
celebrating the achievements of
British breeders this year and having
an end of season party. Get those
dancing shoes on!
Your British Breeding Team!
