NEWS - BRITISH BREEDING FUTURITY <strong>2020</strong><br />
How does the Assessment work?<br />
Your videos will be looked at by all evaluators, with the veterinarian and<br />
nutritionist paying special attention to correctness and limbs, and the rest of the<br />
team evaluating the topline conformation and gaits of your horse or pony, just like<br />
in a normal futurity.<br />
After looking at your videos individually, the evaluators will hold a weekly<br />
conference call where they discuss and agree the profiles, feedback and marks<br />
for all the entries from that week – just like on a normal Futurity day. We will write<br />
all of those observations down, and email you a full and detailed feedback pack,<br />
including your linear scores, numerical marks and verbal feedback comments. At<br />
the end of the season, you will receive a certificate and rosette in the post.<br />
If you would like to discuss your results and find out more, you will have the<br />
opportunity to book an online conference feedback slot, where you can speak to<br />
the evaluators and ask any questions you may have.<br />
We will produce a weekly highlights video with the best footage and positive<br />
comments from that week to be published on social media. As always, you can<br />
also upload any photos and descriptions to your online database profile.<br />
We are also working with ClipMyHorse, who would normally be providing our<br />
livestream, and they are offering you the opportunity to upload the best bits of<br />
your videos to their platform, where they will market your foal to their global<br />
audience.<br />
We realise that this is a lot of information to digest, and that you will all have<br />
further questions. Please watch out for more announcements, explanations and<br />
examples on our website and social media. If you have any comments, thoughts,<br />
or queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch, we are always happy to help!<br />
