TBA Seeks Responses For UK Breeders’ Survey

The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) is seeking the views of all breeders who have bred in Britain via an online survey run by independent consultancy PwC. Open until 5 p.m. local time on Aug. 19, the survey will take no more than 15 minutes to complete, and has been produced to gain insight into past, present and future activities. This will greatly enhance the TBA's ability to represent British breeders at the highest level both within the racing industry and further afield. The TBA greatly appreciates breeders support and time to help shape its work for the benefit of the industry, its horses and people.

UK And Irish Breeders’ Associations Enter Partnership In Support Of Sales Welfare Guidelines

Ahead of the yearling sales season, guidelines for the sale of Thoroughbred breeding and young stock were published through a partnership between the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) and the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (ITBA). These guidelines were created following consultation with industry participants and the support of both Tattersalls and Goffs. Available online, the aim is to help new industry participants navigate the sales preparation and selling processes for optimum equine health and welfare, while also providing transparency on Thoroughbred care before, during and after sales.

Ted Voute, Chairman of the TBA Sales Consignors' Committee said, “The British and Irish Thoroughbred breeding industries remain committed to advocating and promoting the highest standards of care and well-being for our horses through guidance and training. The publication of these guidelines demonstrate how we can work together to showcase our best practices to those outside our sector and help new entrants.”

Shane O'Dwyer, ITBA Chief Executive Officer added, “We are pleased to be partnering on this initiative with the British TBA to highlight the high standards within the Thoroughbred breeding sector. Nothing can replace the practical experience or training that our industries provide but working together we can help new participants across both markets find the key information they need to navigate the sales process and deliver optimum care for their horses.”

Lady Lloyd Webber And Peter Mendham Honoured At TBA Flat Breeders’ Awards

Owner/breeder Madeleine Lloyd Webber and tax expert Peter Mendham received special honours at the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Flat Breeders' Awards Evening Sponsored By The Jockey Club and The National Stud at Chippenham Park, near Newmarket on the evening of July 6.

Lady Lloyd Webber has operated Watership Down Stud with her husband Andrew since 1992. She is the recipient of the Andrew Devonshire Bronze which honours outstanding achievements and contributions to the UK breeding industry.

A member of the TBA board for 10 years until he stepped down in July of last year, Mendham is a consultant with the law firm Allen & Overy. He also previously served as Chairman of the Bloodstock Taxation Committee, and was awarded the Dominion Bronze, in recognition of his contributions and long-term commitment to the UK industry.

TBA chairman Julian Richmond-Watson said, “Madeleine and Peter are two very worthy recipients of the Devonshire and Dominion awards, reflecting their outstanding contribution and achievements in the industry. In creating and developing Watership Down Stud, Madeleine has produced a number of top-quality racecourse performers, many of whom are descended from her excellent foundation mare Darara (Ire) (Top Ville {Ire}). Her knowledge and passion for the Thoroughbred is evident through the stud's success which is making an indelible mark on the breed.

“Peter's knowledge and skills have been vital to the racing industry for many years and critical to the TBA over the past few years, the industry is very much indebted to Peter for his time and wise counsel.  For his work on Brexit issues and the ramifications of COVID-19, we are particularly thankful. As a trustee he has for a long time gone above and beyond to assist the association, working tirelessly to find solutions to the industry's problems.”
