2008 RULE AMENDMENT

In the light of legal representations objecting to the retrospective nature of rule 14 on page 16 of the 2008 Members’ Handbook and page 8 of the Show Regulations and Official List of Judges’ Book, Sport Horse Breeding (GB) has resolved to alter rule 14, deleting the words ‘ 1st January 2005’ and substituting ‘1st January 2008’ so as to remove the retrospective element in the rule change.


ERROR IN RYDALE SHOW SCHEDULE
It has come to light that the judge published in the schedule for the Ridden Hunters is incorrect. The schedule states, Ridden Hunter, Ride, Mr J Conifey, when it should state Mrs J Hubbard.

NATIONAL HUNTER SUPREME CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW - CHANGE OF JUDGE

HEAD STUD BOOK MARE BALLYNEETY DUCA DIES
The Retired International Advanced Event mare Ballyneety Duca (Ella) has sadly died. The mare owned by the The Collins family was listed in the BE top 150 mares of all time. The highlight of her competitive career was 2nd at the Punchestown International Three Day Event in 2004 ridden by former British Young Rider Nicholas Collins. In 2005 Ella was ranked in the top five SHB (GB) graded mares. The mare produced two fantastic foals by the French stallion Jaguar Mail, a colt in 2007 and a filly last Thursday. The colt has already proved to be a winner by taking a Sport Horse Foal Championships last year. 
Nicholas said “ It’s been a tragic time for us loosing such a wonderful mare, we are lucky to still have a living foal thanks to Twemlows and Johanna Vardon of The National Foaling Bank. Johanna has been fantastic in finding a surrogate mare for Ella’s filly foal, fortunately for us the surrogate mare and foal have taken to each other exceedingly well.”

Without Your Support The National Foaling Bank Cannot Continue.
