Jackie Aird will now take on the new position as Passport & Stud Book Administrator. |
Mare & Youngstock Gradings |
The Scottish Sports Horse would like to express their thanks and congratulate all owners and breeders that presented their foals, mares, and youngstock at the Annual Gradings and also to extend their gratitude to Dr Tuenissen and Suzanne Bredero of the NRPS Stud Book for dedicating their time spent assessing the animals presented.
The Graders felt that the overall standards seen this year was exceptionally high and that it was impressive to have seen no animals with serious conformation faults that would inhibit their performance in the future.
It would be greatly appreciated if all owners that did not have their premiums stamped in their passports could forward them to Passport and Studbook Administrator Jackie Aird by recorded delivery. Premium Awards and Scores will be sent by post in the following weeks. |
