“As we share a common interest in breeding and young horses, we look forward to working alongside Sport Horse Breeding (GB) and supporting the new foal grading series,” said VT founder, director and vet Dr Helen Van Tuyll.
So far the highest scoring foal awarded a mark of 8.6 is Rachael Cowan’s Perfect Alibi by the SHB(GB) graded stallion Gemini Classic Opera out of Rachael’s 15-year-old coloured mare So Sweet. Irish-bred So Sweet of unknown breeding was successfully shown in coloured classes being placed at both Horse of the Year Show and the Royal International Horse Show.
