Dates set for inaugural foal tour

THE dates and venues for this year’s inaugural Elite Foals UK Registration Tour have been confirmed. The tour will provide a simplified foal registration system, as well as a chance for foals to qualify for a national final in September, where the champion in each discipline will win £5,000.

Supported by studbooks including the Anglo-European Studbook, Sport Horse Breeding (GB), KWPN, British Hanoverian and British Rhineland, the tour will allow on-the-day registration for multiple foals, with an on-site vet providing microchipping, as well as foal branding facilities.

The tour has secured sponsorship from Al Shara’aa Stables, who will support the dressage foals.

“I’m so excited that Al Shira’aa Stables is backing equestrian sport in Britain right from the start,” said Lorna Wilson, director of the Elite Foals Registration Tour. “Supporting British breeding from the beginning allows us to identify future world-class horses and aim them on right path from birth.” H&H
