Welcome from the editor
The new year came with mixed
blessings with the promise of light at the
end of the tunnel as the vaccine
programme is ramped up, but that light
still seems a dim and distant flicker as
we struggle on under another
lockdown. Many of us can still
consider ourselves fortunate with horses
and other animals to get us outdoors
and keep us sane, even when the sleet
is horizontal and we may question that
sanity. Light is especially important to
breeders, with daylight hours increasing
indicating the coming of spring and the
breeding season.
The realisation that there was no
possible way to hold the Stallion
Event as a physical event in February
under current restrictions got the team
thinking about the alternatives. A later
event would almost certainly clash with
something in what is likely to be a busy
calendar once the lockdown is lifted,
and in any case, breeders need to see
stallions now in order to make their
breeding decisions.
So we have embraced the virtual
concept once again and have put
together a plan for the Virtual Stallion
Event that embraces the spirit of the live
event. On three consecutive
Wednesday evenings in February,
mare owners and breeders can see a
wide variety of stallions for Eventing,
Showjumping and Dressage. Each
stallion will be featured in detail with
pre-recorded video of them competing,
training and in the stable at home.
Stallion owners will be interviewed live
and there will be an opportunity for
questions. A recording of the webinar
will be available on our website for
anyone to watch again at their leisure.
Contents
There is also a catalogue of all the
stallions taking part contained in this
issue. So if you have not yet registered,
head on over to our website and
register now – this is definitely not to be
missed! Our thanks go to Baileys Horse
Feeds who have continued to support
our virtual events, and whose support
and enthusiasm we greatly appreciate.
Elsewhere in this issue we feature an
interview with Finn Guinness on the
cloning of Tamarillo, a topic also
recently covered by Tullis Matson in
one of our popular webinars. This is still
something of a hot potato with plenty of
opinion but it is becoming clear that it
has a role to play in genetic
preservation, whether that be of
champion geldings or rare breeds. If
you missed the webinar you can watch
it again on the British-breeding.com
website.
We review our Celebration Awards,
and in particular feature the very
worthy winner of our Unsung Hero
Award for 2020. Liz Wilkinson has
given a lifetime of commitment to
Twemlows Hall Stud and the Award
recognises her dedication and the role
she has played in making Twemlows
what it is today.
Our veterinary feature on Endometritis
is provided by Rossdales and takes a
look at this often invisible condition that
is one of the most common causes of
infertility in mares, and Baileys Horse
Feeds provide a useful Q&A on mare
nutrition.
Let’s hope that by the next issue, we will
be enjoying getting out with our horses
once more. Best wishes - Rachael

BADMINTON AT THE HOUSE
There will be a very special feel for the
Badminton Horse Trials 2021 event,
which will be running “Behind Closed
Doors”.
Event Director Jane Tuckwell has
announced that the Main Arena, where
the dressage and showjumping
phases take place, will move to the front
of Badminton House. Jane said “I am
very grateful to the Duke of Beaufort
for giving over his golf driving range to
the event for this very special one off
occasion”.
For the first 10 years of the event the
dressage and showjumping arena was
in front of the house before moving to its
current location in 1960.
Eric Winter’s course will start and finish
in the centre of the park and will follow a
similar route to previous years.
Host of the event, The Duke of Beaufort
is delighted and commented, “It is very
exciting after last year’s cancellation that
the horse trials will be going ahead next
May”.
Triple winner (2002, 2003 and 2005)
Pippa Funnell MBE (GBR) “Badminton
has a really special place in my heart
and moving the main arena to the front
of the house will make the event even
more extraordinary if that is possible.
I am thrilled the event is able to go in
these most difficult of times and I cannot
wait to get there in May”.
With the event running “Behind Closed
Doors” Badminton organisers plan to
ensure that everyone is still able to enjoy
all the live competition action via their
social media channels and TV/
Livestream. Further news will be released
on this in due course

IOC EB confirms all
equestrian disciplines
and quotas for
Paris 2024
All three equestrian disciplines –
Jumping, Dressage and Eventing – have
been formally confirmed for the Paris
2024 Olympic programme. In addition,
the six events – team and individual
across each of the three disciplines –
and the full quota of 200 athlete/horse
combinations have also been endorsed.
News of the confirmation came during
the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) Executive Board online meeting in
December, at which the full programme
for Paris 2024 was formally approved.
Individual International Federations were
also provided with details of the event
programme and athlete quotas for their
sport in an official letter from IOC
Director General Christophe De Kepper.
The ratification means that equestrian will
keep its quota of 75 athlete/horse
combinations for Jumping, 65 for
Eventing and 60 for Dressage.
“We are very happy to receive formal
approval of our three disciplines for Paris
2024 from the IOC Executive Board
and also confirmation that our athlete
quota remains untouched at 200”, FEI
President and IOC Member Ingmar De
Vos said.
“This confirmation is also a token of
appreciation for the efforts the FEI and
the equestrian community have made
to increase the fan base and improve
digital figures for our sport. We really
appreciate that the IOC didn’t touch
our quota as we knew they needed to
reduce the overall Games-wide quota to
10,500 athletes, but our sport has grown
so much over the last decade that a
reduction of our quota would have been
detrimental to the universality of our
Olympic competitions.”
The equestrian events will be staged in
the grounds of Versailles, with King Louis
XIV’s Palace as a stunning backdrop at
one of the French capital’s most iconic
Games time venues.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site will
also be the site for Modern Pentathlon.

UK Sport funding for British
Equestrian Tokyo campaign secure
News
British Equestrian’s Olympic
and Paralympic disciplines
has received news from UK
Sport that investment for
Tokyo is secure, enabling
our athletes and support
teams to continue to
prepare for the Games
with confidence.
Indicative funding for the Paris cycle
for the Lottery-funded UK Sport World
Class Programmes was also announced,
with the Olympic disciplines of dressage,
eventing and showjumping awarded a
confirmed £2.77 million in year one,
and para dressage granted £753,000.
This represents a reduction of about 22%
for equestrian, which is in line the
majority of sports supported by UK
Sport. Investment awards will be
confirmed annually over the four-year
cycle.
The way UK Sport delivers its funding
from Government and The
National Lottery has been reviewed,
with a new strategy to support more
sports in becoming successful and
engaging with the general public. Their
overall funding has received an overall
uplift despite the challenging economic
circumstances, reflecting the importance
of sport and activity to the nation.
British Equestrian Chief Executive Iain
Graham commented;
“Thank you to UK Sport for their
confidence and belief in our sports. We
have been realistic in our expectation
due to the financial situation overall, so
this is better than anticipated and should
be seen as a positive result in the
circumstances. This is still a sizeable
investment and I’m grateful to the public
who loyally play the National Lottery,
which in turn allows us to turn funding
into performance and inspire the next
generation.
“I would like to also recognise UK
Sport’s assistance in supporting our
strategy. This funding enables our
athletes, both human and equine, to
maximise their potential and deliver
success. Overall, we’ve delivered over
80 medals on the championship stage
since the advent of Lottery funding in the
late 1990s, which illustrates the value
and impact of the support. We also look
forward to working in partnership with
UK Sport on their strategy to engage
and inspire the public through the magic
of sport.”
The core team behind the delivery of the
Equestrian World Class Programme will
now set in motion a process of
reviewing budgets and plans to align
with the funding levels.
Performance Director Richard Waygood
said; “We’re grateful once again to UK
Sport for our funding allocation and their
continued backing, not only financially
but with advice, guidance and
confidence in our sports to deliver.
We were prepared for a reduction
because everyone is having to tighten
their belts across all walks of life. We’ll
adapt and work smarter under a resilient
programme to ensure our athletes are
not impacted and still have the tools to
perform to their best ability.
We’re currently in a good place in
our Tokyo build-up and can now look
forward to planning our Paris campaign
with confidence.
We will work hard to ensure equestrian
maintains its rightful place in the greater
British sporting landscape and inspire
the public to support our athletes.”

Legendary
Stallion
Arko III dies
Success for inaugural
NEF webinar
The National Equine Forum’s first special
interest webinar Just in Time – Using
Science to Save our Breeds, captured
the attention of more than 160 delegates
from around the world, and generated
some fascinating questions for the panel
of internationally renowned speakers.
Chaired by Professor Tim Morris, the
webinar was delivered by industry
leaders and highlighted the
challenges our equine breeds face, and
how, through science there is hope for
the future. Tullis Matson, Founder and
Managing Director of Stallion AI
Services, opened the session with a
fascinating look at how the extinction
vortex has impacted the natural world
and its application to equine breeds.
Simon Cooper, Director, The General
Studbook, Weatherbys, continued with a
close look at the challenging situation of
inbreeding in Thoroughbreds.
Paul Flynn, Head of Research and
Development, Weatherbys Scientific,
went on to explain the role of DNA
analysis in providing breed societies and
breeders with keystone support to guide
decisions to increase effective
populations. Dr Andy Dell, Trustee and
Member of the Breed Committee,
Cleveland Bay Horse Society,
concluded the presentations with a case
study giving proof of the concept that
breeds in decline have a chance to be
saved when genomics and kinship
analysis are utilised.
The 29th National Equine Forum will be
held virtually on Thursday 4th March
2021. Tickets will be available in
February 2021.
As we go to press, we learned of the
sad death of legendary showjumping
stallion, Arko III, at the age of 27.
By the world famous Argentinus, out
of Unika (Beach Boy), Arko III was the
number one Showjumper in Europe
in 2004, 2005 and 2006. With Nick
Skelton, he represented Britain at the
2004 Olympic Games in Athens, and
at the 2005 European Championships.
He also won the richest competition in
the world, the Calgary CN Grand Prix,
in 2008, as well as clocking up
numerous Grand Prix wins and Nations
Cup double clears. Nick credited Arko
as the horse that got him back riding
again after his accident. He told us
during our webinar what a great horse
he was, winning some great Grands
Prix around the world, and was also a
great character.
Arko retired from competition in 2008
but continued his stud duties until 2019,
when he retired from stud aged 25. He
has sired some exceptional offspring,
including Argento, who won over 16
Grands Prix and topped the WBFSH
World Rankings in 2015 ridden by
John Whitaker, and Aristio, who won
the 1.60m Grand Prix at Hickstead in
2018 with rider Anthony Condon and
has jumped double clear at numerous
Nations Cups for Ireland.
Lisa Hales said they are “heartbroken,
but have so many happy memories.”
The first rare breed foal born from sexed semen in 2020 Suffolk Punch - Photo Horsepower Creative
Totilas death
Totilas, the black KWPN stallion who
became the biggest sensation in global
equestrian sport, passed away in
December at the age of 20 having
succumbed to a severe colic attack. By
Gribaldi out of Lominka (by Glendale x
Akteur), he was bred by Jan Schuil and
Anna Vissa, and turned into one of the
most beautiful, memorable and
celebrated dressage horse in the world.
Totilas had a short career as a young
horse, before sale to Dutch millionaire,
Cees Visser, in 2006. He came to
prominence under the saddle of Edward
Gal and after an amazing performance
at the European championships in
Windsor in 2009, Edward rode Totilas to
triple gold at the 2010 World Equestrian
Games in Lexington, KY. The world was
shocked when his owners announced
the sale of Totilas to Paul Schockemöhle
for an unconfirmed amount reputed to
exceed €10 million – the highest amount
ever paid for a dressage horse.
Matthias Rath took over the ride when
his stepmother, Ann Kathrinn
Linsenhoff bought the sporting rights
from Schockemöhle. However, Totilas
sustained injury that was to plague the
remainder of his competition career
and he was finally retired after the 2015
Europeans having been diagnosed with
periostitis of the coronet band on the left
hind hoof. He continued with stud duties
and commuted between Schockemöhle’s
stallion station in Mühlen and Gestut
Schafhof in Kronberg, Germany where
he enjoyed an easy life and was still
ridden for fun by Matthias as well as
owner Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff. “Totilas
had it all: talent, appearance,
movements and an amazing eagerness
to work”, his former rider Edward Gal
said in an interview. Matthias Rath said
“There will only ever be one Totilas.”

Celebration Awards
In this extraordinary year, the
achievements of British breeders in
producing such fabulous youngsters
were no less impressive, and it was only
right that British Breeding should find a
way to celebrate these achievements in
the absence of the planned Celebration
Ball, the inaugural Ball having been such
a success in 2019.
Our online Celebration Awards on 4
December recognised these
achievements and with the distribution of
trophies, hampers and bottles of fizz to
the various categories, supported by our
loyal sponsors, there was a real a party
atmosphere.

Pearson-Brown for Priestwood Jasper
(Sports Pony).
Annie and Bronte returned to the screen
as they collected the best Futurity
newcomer award for Fire & Ice, who
also took the top AES pony foal award.
The Baileys Horse Feeds Futurity Awards
are one of the highlights of the evening,
recognising the top scoring entries in
each category. Jane Buchan, Marketing
Manager for Baileys, congratulated
everyone on rising to the challenge
and successfully completing the Futurity

Unsung Hero Award
Liz receiving her award from Edward Matson
The highlight of the evening was the
presentation of the Unsung Hero Award,
sponsored by the Equine Register.
Eva Broomer thanked Stephanie Palmer
for supporting this award, which
recognises the hard work put in behind
the scenes, something that also reflects
the work of the Equine Register.
Stephanie announced that the winner
was Liz Wilkinson, PA to the directors at
Twemlows Hall Stud, and handed over
to Edward Matson who explained why
he had nominated Liz for this award.
Liz retired at the end of 2020 after 41
years’ service to the Twemlows family
business. She joined the business as the
Farm Secretary to Bob and Richard
Matson (R L Matson & Son) on 14th
January 1980. The business consisted
then of two farms which had a 400
head heard of milking cows, 2000 pigs,
produced 1 tonne of cheese daily and
had its own mill. Alongside all of this,
there was also the hunter yard.
In 1990 the business changed direction
due to the passing of Bob Matson and
the loss of a farm tenancy. The Sports
Horse Breeding was beginning to evolve
with Richard Matson at the helm, and Liz
as a leading light and huge support
during this transition. Liz was
instrumental in the establishment of
Twemlows Stud and making it the
business it is today. Liz was always
working away in the background
running the office administration, and
keeping everything in check, being
everyone’s ‘go to person’ as she always
had time and a friendly, sympathetic ear
for everyone, listening but never judging.
The stud stallion ‘Sportsman’ was owned
and used at the stud for many years in
the 90’s. Liz was very much part of the
team preparing his offspring, from initial
show preparations to attending the
actual shows, again offering a huge
amount of support, and giving up her
own time in order to be so supportive.
In 2001 Edward came back to the
family home to work alongside his father
Richard, in the family partnership which
had been setup with the support of Tullis,
creating a mare AI breeding centre.
The stud offered AI, foaling and embryo
transfer which grow rapidly The business
went from strength to strength and Liz
played a huge part in the success of
this by running the office and being the
communication hub for the ever
expanding stud farm. Liz has become the
face of Twemlows Stud over the years,
and undoubtedly her shining ability to
always have time to offer support, guidance
and knowledge to anyone who
called, have contributed to making the
stud the success it is today.
With the sudden passing away of
Richard Matson in 2015, Liz rose up
again and became Edward’s rock
offering strength and support at a very
difficult time. Liz at Twemlows is known
throughout the industry, and it is
undeniable that Twemlows would not be
a leading light of the breeding industry,
upholding the professional reputation
it has without the service Liz has given
over the last 41 years. Liz has a very
unique ability to embrace everyone
that she comes into contact with here
at Twemlows and make them feel like a
friend and not just a work colleague or a
client but someone who is a much valued
friend, always giving 110% support.

One of the great highlights of 2020
was the series of webinars. We set out
to provide some useful
information and insight for breeders
during the first lockdown, and the
concept quickly grew. During the year
we presented 39 webinars, covering
topics as diverse as British Breeding
in East Africa, The World Breeding
Federation for Sport Horses General
Assembly, the British Breeding
Celebration Awards, as well as the
‘Tullis Talks’ stallion management
series and a host of renowned
breeders sharing their insights. There
were previews and reviews of the
Futurity evaluations and the inaugural
Futurity auction. In total, 92 hours
of webinar have been delivered to
8,400 attendees with 1,137
questions!
The webinars are all free to view, but
attendees were asked to donate via
a pay button in a follow up email
and 100% of the amount received
was donated to the nominated
charity for the evening. The result was
astounding, collecting £3767, which

Brexit Update
A Quick Guide To
Export and Import
Post-Transition
by Celia Clarke
The last few months have been a very
worrying period for many in our industry
– as it has for the whole nation - with
a unique combination of the end of the
Transition period of Brexit and the
dreadful spread of the COVID-19
pandemic creating a whole raft of
problems, both practical and regulatory.
These problems were exacerbated by
the very late agreement between the
UK and the EU of the final framework
of the Withdrawal Treaty and for those
planning to export any horses and
ponies (even if only briefly rather than as
a permanent re-location for
whatever reason) this has meant that a
major review of current procedures was
both urgent and vital. This is because if
you now plan to send any equines into
the EU you need to be aware that you
should now always:
• Check the latest DEFRA guidelines
on exporting and importing equines
as these often change at very short
notice. Go to https://www.gov.uk/
guidance/export-horses-and-ponies-special-rules
for this. This
guidance also contains vital up-todate
links for current EU border
control posts for equines (BCPs),
which are the only places in which
horses and ponies exported from
the UK to the EU can enter the EU.
• Try to use an internationally
experienced, equine-specialist
horse transporter to move your
horses and ponies unless you are
very experienced in doing this
yourself and are sure that you
have fulfilled all the requirements
specified in the DEFRA guidance
above and have all the necessary
paperwork in place, plus COVID-19
compliant drivers, grooms etc.
• The rules for exporting an equine to
Northern Ireland are complex and
should be regarded as very similar
to those for exporting an animal to
the EU rather than moving it
internally within the UK.
You also need to be aware that:
• The Tripartite Agreement between
the UK, France and Ireland is no
longer functioning.
• Extra veterinary inspections,
documentation etc have caused
Eurotunnel, ferries – and almost
certainly airlines – to increase their
transport fees by as much as £400
per horse per crossing in
comparison to pre-Brexit rates.
• The EU has laid down different rules
of entry for:
Equines with passports issued by
UK-based DEFRA approved studbook
PIOs (and those based in EU countries);
a list of the UK studbooks approved by
the EU can be found at https://www.
gov.uk/guidance/export-horses-andponies-special-rules#UK-studbook
Equines with passports issued by a
DEFRA approved ID-only PIO.
• There may well be a tariff imposed
on geldings (ca £40) of whatever
type but it is unclear how this will be
collected or whether it will apply to
horses and ponies being sent to the
EU for a short time periods for
competition and/or training as
well as those being permanently
exported.
Finally, and most importantly, because
of the complexity of these rules and the
possible delays at BCPs, for welfare
reasons it would be best of you could
delay your departure for as long as
possible – and certainly until after
mid-February if at all feasible.
As far as importing a horse or pony from
the EU is concerned, the rules are
basically unchanged from when the UK
was an EU member state and can be
found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-or-move-horses-and-ponies
bearing in mind that from July it will
be necessary for the horse or pony to
enter the UK via an official UK BCP, the
locations of which are still to be finalised.
If you are planning to export breeding
products such as semen (most likely
frozen rather than chilled from now on
due the potential issues with document
checking etc), oocytes, zygotes or frozen
embryos, or are planning to send hair or
DNA samples (all classified as ‘animal
products’ in the relevant regulations) then
you need to be aware that not only will
you need to obtain the necessary
zootechnical documentation for these
items, but you will probably need to
apply for a TRACES number as well.
Also, unless the breeding products are
generated by an animal with a passport
from a studbook PIO in the country that
is listed in https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-or-move-horses-and-ponies
or is an approved breeding animal
with a passport from an approved
studbook based within an EU member
state) then under the EU Zootechnics
regulations it will be impossible to export
them into the EU. This also applies to
hair, skin and DNA samples being
exported to Weatherbys Scientific in
Ireland for parentage testing, which
is the route many studbooks are now
taking following the sad demise of the
Animal Health Trust. However,
Weatherbys UK should be able to help
you with any problems that arise during
this procedure.
All these rules and web links might seem
rather confusing at first but at least they
have now been clarified and hopefully
will be running well by the time this issue
of The British Breeder is published. As
such, it is really essential to be thankful
for the many hours that Defra (in
particular its Equine ID and Movement
and Farm Animal Genetic Resources
departments) devoted to international
discussions pre-Transition, and for the
valuable support it received from the
British Horse Council on a national and
Cabinet level and the 826 Equine
Studbooks Association on a studbook
and industry level. Without these
organisations working closely together
what still seems to be very complex – but
at least negotiable – set of regulations
would have been an impossible barrier
to any form of equine-based trade with
the EU post-Transition.

AES Gelding
Into the Blue
An interview with rider Louise Bell
by Eva-Maria Broomer
12 | BRITISH BREEDER

Studbook - News
In the 2020 WBFSH World
Rankings, the highest
ranked British bred
individual dressage horse
is the 15-year-old AES
gelding Into the Blue. Bred
by none other than John
Whitaker from
showjumping lines by the
Darco son Ublesco out of a
Calvaro Z mare, &
embarking on dressage as
a second career after
enormous showing
successes as a young
horse, “Dynamo”
certainly breaks the mould.
We caught up with his
rider, Louise Bell, to tell
us more about their
extraordinary journey
together.
1. Tell us a little bit about how you
found Dynamo and your early
days with him. What made him
stand out for you, and what were
your expectations?
One day, John Whitaker rang me out of
the blue to say he had a cousin of my
great show horse and Working Hunter
Supreme Champion “Man on Fire” for
sale. I had lost “Man on Fire” tragically
as an 8-year-old. John had bred him, as
well as my other show horse “Cracker”,
with whom I had won National
Championships and with whom I had
become Reserve Champion riding
sidesaddle at the Horse of the Year
Show. That is why when John rang me
and said he may have another horse for
me, I was certainly interested. His words
where: “I’m not sure if he is what you
want, but he’s a great colour!!”
In fact, when I arrived up in Yorkshire to
see him, he turned out to be completely
pink... a pink roan! And I have to say
I fell completely in love straight away
before he’d even left the stable for the
simple reason that I could see so much
of “Man on Fire” in him…
And then there was his eye! He had the
eyes of a very very special soul...
naughty, yes, but special!
Then John bought him out for me to look
at his conformation and a walk and trot
up. He was 3 at the time, broken and
jumping a small course of fences, but his
croup was about a foot higher than his
withers and he was quite wide behind
and narrow in front, in other words, not
the finished article at all and I needed
a telescope of vision to see the future
“Dynamo” he was going to become!
At the time I was the only one who could
see his potential. My husband Robert,
my vet at the time Alan Walker and my
groom Niki Pilar all said exactly the
same: “Louise have you lost your mind?”
But.... that day up at John’s, the walk he
showed was already superb. The trot
was not amazing but he was a straight
mover and, after all, I was buying him to
make a working hunter. He moved very
well for showing and dressage had not
even entered my mind.
When I first got on him that day it was
like riding a snake! He was so flexible
and couldn’t really go in a straight line.
But the walk and canter were already
good and the trot was fine and I just
knew that with time and strength he
would become perfect. His jump was
plenty enough for working hunters, but
he lacked the added BOOM needed for
an international showjumper, which is
why John was selling him.
After we agreed the deal with John,
Robert spent the entire journey home
telling me what an idiot I was and that
I was going to be stuck with a pink
horse! Even my existing showing clients
and owners all kept telling me that they
thought I was mad. I quietly went on my
way doing what I do best and slowly
bringing out of Dynamo what I knew
was in there. Funnily enough it did not
take long. Three months after keeping
him under wraps I was walking back into
the yard one day and one of my clients
said: “Oh is this a new one?” My reply
was: “No… this is the same one you
accused me of loosing my mind over!”
Everyone was blown over! And to this
day they all admit how wrong they
were… although I will say they did make
me doubt myself at the time!
In his short showing career Dynamo was
a champion from day one, becoming
Supreme Champion at Windsor as a
4-year-old and again as a
five-year-old, and Royal International
Supreme Working Hunter Champion at
5 years old, still the youngest horse to
this day to ever have won the Working
Hunter Title there. Then, at six years old
he became National Champion too.
So when I was asked by Horse and
Hound to take up dressage for a
challenge, Dynamo became the horse I
did my first ever dressage test on in an
elementary class, and the rest is history!

2. Into the Blue is obviously bred
for show jumping, how did this
affect your dressage work?
There is no doubt about it, Dynamo was
bred to jump. However, his model, and
the power in his hind leg always made
me feel that with time I could re-train him
to be my partner in dressage.
This has definitely not been easy! From
day one, Dynamo was always very
spooky and sharp to the leg and just
sharp in general. At the time, I trained
with Michael Eilberg whose words
where: “If you really want to do
dressage, then you need to buy another
horse, he is not going to make it!” And
my reply was: “This is what I have and I
am going to turn him into a Grand Prix
horse!” At the time I knew nothing about
dressage, but I know myself, and when
challenged I can achieve most things I
put my mind to.
I admit it, the early days of dressage
were very challenging. Dynamo was
pretty naughty and many times retiring
because I couldn’t get past the judge at
C! But when I got to advanced level, my
belief in my horse was proved right, and
everything started to come together.
I still remember when I asked for the first
time to attempt piaffe and passage with
him, and he just gave me the gift of his
talent and basically acted like he’d been
doing it all his life!
That was what felt as the real start of
our dressage career. We have been at
Grand Prix for four years now, although
the last year can’t really count! With him
being in his prime this year I pray Covid
will permit us to go out and compete
again very soon!
The jumping breeding for me will always
pull me when buying a horse... half
jumping half dressage, makes for me
one perfect horse.
scores. This goes back to that strong hind
leg and back that has now enabled me
to improve the front legs.
Many years ago, the great Ted Edgar
told me: “You can train a front end but
you can’t train a back end”, and I found
this to be exactly the same for dressage
horses!
4. What is your greatest
achievement together so far?
Dynamo and I really have achieved
dreams! My greatest dressage moment
so far has to be gaining a massive
Grand Prix score in - of all places –
Aachen! Being on the team with Lottie
Fry and Charlotte Dujardin, and my
score having to count! That truly was the
best day of my life!
And then we did the same at Olympia,
and to experience the reaction from the
crowd was just fantastic! That was a very
special moment for me. I am honoured
to have such a horse. Yes, he may be
tricky, but he has taught me patience and
to believe in myself. And the fact that
we are on the list for the Olympics is an
achievement in itself, just to be
considered.... now that’s a dream
come true! My next dream is the
Europeans, and if things go right this
could happen…
We would like to say a big
thank you to Louise Bell for
telling us her fascinating story
and we wish them all the
very best from the AES
for the 2021 dressage
season!
www.angloeuropeanstudbook.co.uk
3. How are you coping with
lockdown, and what is your
daily routine with him?
Lockdown is hard but he trains two days
a week and he still jumps and does
plenty of hill work and hacking to keep
his mind and body strong. It is an art,
keeping these top horses at their best for
the right time and planning is crucial, to
be ready for that moment in the ring! You
can imagine it is very difficult right now,
as we cannot plan anything properly.
Over lockdown, Dynamo has developed
another dimension in his trot and this is
going to give me that improvement in

Proof of the pudding –
Premium Performance
stallions
Breeders face another year of
challenges as lock-down and Covid
restrictions prevent mare-owners visiting
studs to analyse stallions in the flesh.
Normally, we can size up the country’s
leading sires at British Breeding’s
excellent Stallion Event. Now, we must
rely on on-line presentations – or use
a third option. This is to select a stallion
from the Arab Horse Society’s list of
tried and tested Premium Performance
Stallions which have completed the
tough two-day ridden evaluation run
by the National Stallion Association
(NaStA). This involves a course of
show jumps, a cross country course,
dressage, loose jumping, a ridden
appraisal by a judge and a stringent
vetting. In addition, Arabians are
assessed for conformation, movement
and temperament. It’s a nail-biting
assessment. I watched in awe as the
10-yr old pure Arab stallion Mukhtar
Ibn Eternity flew round the cross country
course back in 2015. He then gave a
beautiful calm and collected dressage
performance, gaining an overall ‘Elite’
score of 141.64. I was also privileged
to support part-Arab Yawl Hillbilly, a
versatile endurance champion when he

was graded in the NaStA test. He has
proved ideal for producing all-rounders.
Many more pure Arabians, Anglos and
part-breds have successfully completed
the test. These stallions and their progeny
are among the most successful athletes
in the equine world. Many have won the
ultimate award of the World Arabian
Horse Organization Trophy. They fly the
flag for the value of Arabian blood in
ridden disciplines.
For the past 30 years, the Arab Horse
Society (AHS) has operated the Premium
Performance Scheme to promote
breeding from these proven stallions.
Successful ridden sports horse and pony
stallions registered with the AHS and
graded with the SPSS and SHB(GB) may
also be granted Premium stallion status.
16 | BRITISH BREEDER

Studbook - News
The AHS gives a monetary premium
to mare owners when they register
a foal by a Premium stallion if the
mare is registered as a Premium mare
with the AHS. Mares need have no
Arab blood so can qualify through
their own breedsociety or discipline.
Each stallion owner also is allowed
to ‘Nominate’ up to three mares each
year for a Premium, if the mare is
deemed suitable.
Mares qualify for Premium status
through their own achievements in
affiliated ridden disciplines, or the
ridden successes of at least two of their
offspring.
Foals born from Premium stallions
qualify for AHS awards in future
ridden competition, including racing,
dressage, endurance and Futurity
Evaluations.

Over the decades, the Scheme has
produced remarkable champions
such as the Burghley and Badminton
eventer Tamarillo by Tarnik, the race
winner Ecliptic from leading race horse
Vadeer, Performance Horse Awards
and dressage champion Binley Prince
Salim by Prince Sadik, part-Arab
show jumpers from pure Arab Marcus
Aurelius, and the successful endurance
progeny from the Polish stallion
Czarus.
Biddesden Stud have qualified many
excellent stallions through the NaStA
test over the years, and currently offer
Anglo Arab Advanced eventers All
That Jazz and Persiflage, the pure
Arab Sisyrinchium, plus part-Arab
Incognito by frozen semen.
And thank goodness for frozen semen!
Sambist, the Champion pure Arab
race horse and 13-times Leading
Racing Sire, died in 2014 aged
27, but is still available by AI, as is
champion endurance sire, Al Sood,
also deceased.
Many foals bred from Premium
stallions enter the British Breeding
Futurity Young Horse Evaluations
with distinction each year – you can
be introducing your youngster to
competition in hand before you start
training under saddle.

Despite the challenges we all faced
last year, the British Hanoverian Horse
Society (BHHS) had a very successful
2020. Foal registrations and sales,
once again, increased and we saw
an influx of change of ownerships for
horses across all disciplines. As online
auctions are becoming more popular,
2020 saw the launch of our first online
foal auction which featured our highest
placed foals of 2020, all selected
from summer regional shows. The
auction lots featured our Champion and
Reserve Champion foals by Franklin and
Finest plus premium foals by Danciero,
Flammengold, Millennium and Wild
Child.
Covid and Brexit combined made 2020
a difficult year for horse breeders with
continuing concerns of uncertainty from
our breeders as we move into 2021.
There are a lot of new European
regulations concerning the care and
keeping of horses that will come
into force and we do not know if
our government will adopt them.
For example, size of stables, natural
light, daily turnout. Some EU laws
have recently been adopted by the
FEI banning the trimming of whiskers
and inside of ears. There is still some
uncertainty regarding the import and
export of horses with the new rules still
being formalised.
Our Parent Society in Germany has
undergone a restructuring of their
management personnel, introducing
more active competition riders to the
new discipline specific boards as well
as the Stallion licencing and Judging
commissions. Experienced horse riders
and breeders will bring new ideas. New
rules are coming out in line with the other
German studbooks, with allowance for
stallions that are not performance tested
to sire progeny that can be registered
Hanoverian. They will not be main
studbook but studbook/ appendix /
Foal book depending on Pedigree.
Some concern has been expressed by
traditional breeders but generally the
choice is wider, and people can make
their own mind up what they choose.
We would also like to take this
opportunity to welcome the Rhineland
Stallion, Faustinus to Great Britain for
2021. Faustinus is a modern, elegant
stallion with superb riding horse qualities
which he passes onto his offspring.
Several are FEI Young rider horses. He

Romanno Spotless - Photo Jasmine Punter
The competition season may have not yet
begun but British Riding Pony breeders
are looking ahead to an exciting 2021.
Deborah Walton-Smith updates on plans
for the eight year old bay British Riding
Pony mare Romanno Spotless, bred by
Jennifer Gilchrist. Ness , as she is called
at home started her eventing career in
2020 with wins initially at 90 cm level
and finished the season of limited outings
(due to the first lockdown) with two top
three placings at 100 cm level.
With the confirmation that the 2021
eventing season will not start before
the beginning of April plans have
been slightly modified to include lots of
hacking , schooling and a few online
dressage competitions organised and
run by Horse Events.
Once eventing restarts the main focus
for the season will be to consolidate
her outings at 100cm level and then
to move up to British Eventing novice
level towards the end of this year. If all
progresses smoothly Romanno Spotless
will be aimed at FEI pony trials in 2022
Ness is a daughter of the impeccably
bred Stanley Grange Regal Heights
who stands at stud again this season
at Romanno Stud in Scotland. He
demonstrates the true versatility of the
British Riding Pony having sired ponies
that excel in every discipline from
showing to show jumping.
Di Nicholson reports that her homebred
NPS Licensed Stallion Dibynn Status
Symbol is planning on gracing the
dressage arenas when lockdown
permits. He is currently working at
Novice at home - but will start at the
bottom as he has to get acclimatised
to being ridden at show venues. Status
Symbol has previously been extremely
successful in the show ring winning
many show hunter pony breeding
championships.
His sire Tiger Attack was a many time
champion in the show ring but has also
proved his worth in the eventing field
and his dam Dibynn Status View is a
1.20m showjumper, novice dressage
and top show horse. Dibynn Status
Symbol’s first foal is proving exciting and
moves well enough to follow in his sire’s
footsteps. Di is expecting two foals by
him this year.

for their BE debut. Photo - ESP Photography
The first out of Dibynn Chic Flic. She
is a half sister to a multiple champion
Medium dressage and showing pony,
and a multiple champion working hunter
so a foal very much destined for the
performance world. The other foal will
be out of Dibynn Miss Congeniality -
herself very successful in the show ring.
Sally McMillan of Heronsmill Stud
is breeding HOYS champions and
successful sports ponies using the very
best British Riding Pony bloodlines.
She tells us that Heronsmill Tiger’s
Eye (Roseberry Special Occasion x
Copybush Eye of the Tiger) is continuing
to develop his new partnership with
ambitious young jockey, Polly Cochrane.
Polly and Rocky hope to aim at BE
events this year as Polly turns 12. They
have been making the best of the current
situation with XC schooling, Arena
Eventing and jumping and dressage
lessons with their trainers. This is a
partnership to watch out for.
Dibynn Status Symbol is set to move from the show
ring to the dressage arena. Photo - 1st Class Images
Sally also has a maternal half brother to
Rocky, Heronsmill Tiger Moon (Castle
Knight x Copybush Eye of the Tiger).
He is now a yearling and was bred with
the aim of producing a competition/
event/ WHP, his dam having produced
Tiger’s Eye and current Cuddy champion
Heronsmill Tiger Lily. His sire is a Class
1 Connemara by Fredericksminde Hazy
Match, one of Ireland’s leading sires of
sports ponies.
The addition of M&M blood is at the
foundation of the British Riding Pony
studbook and breeders are successful
enhancing their programmes in this way
again today. Well established breeders
such as Hightopps, Wytchwood and
Lesmore studs have all used a mixture
of Welsh Section B and Connemara
stallions on their beautifully bred British
Riding Pony mares in the last few season
and we look forward to seeing these
youngsters gracing the show ring and
sport arenas in the next few years.

News in January is rather thin at the best
of times. It is especially thin during yet
another Government lockdown, which
at the time of writing has no end date
in sight. Current restrictions to working
practices, due to Covid 19, means that
the office is, on a day-to-day basis,
presently working with a skeleton
staff. The good news however is that
staff are also working from home and
SHB(GB) is very much in the business of
processing passports and registrations.
Due to staff rotas this means they may
take a bit longer than usual. Also please
bear in mind that, for similar reasons,
DNA results can take longer to come
back to us which further adds to the
time whilst postal services have also
slowed down. For all these reasons the
time it takes to get the passport back
to you is perhaps greater than usual,
although SHB(GB) will endeavour to be
as quick as possible. We therefore ask
for understanding and patience while
you wait for the return of your passport.
If you would like to contact the office
to enquire about your registration or
passport, then it would help us if you
used email rather than the telephone,
while these restrictions are in place.
Whilst it is not possible to set dates in
the diary for our usual spring stallion
gradings, if anyone has a stallion they
would like to grade then please email
Marian at the office. We may be able
to assess your stallion by sending our
graders to you – although this will of
course depend on the restrictions at the
time and the facilities available for both
horses and graders. Vetting requirements
and grading will still follow the SHB(GB)
rules and new and or young stallions will
have to be ridden and loose jumped, so
a safe, good-sized school is essential. All
rules for grading are available from the
downloads section of the website.
The owners of all stallions that pass
our gradings will receive one of our
handsome stable door plaques.
We will of course add grading dates
to calendar as soon as Government
restrictions allow for greater freedom of
movement and we are able to secure
venues. Hopefully, we will be able to
proceed with mare grading as usual later
in the year. In the meantime we hope that
you all stay safe and well.
Two stable plaques have been posted
out to owners of recently graded stallions
and SHB(GB) is delighted to welcome
two new thoroughbred stallions into the
studbook. The Society has approved
both Native Ruler and Fountain of Youth.
Fifteen-year-old Native Ruler has moved
to Talgrwn Stud near Lampeter. Native
Ruler, who formerly stood at Batsford
Stud in Gloucestershire, is a son of Cape
Cross out of Love Divine by Diesis. As
well as siring winners on the track, flat
and national hunt, he has already sired
winning sport horses. He is the sire of
the SHB(GB) registered former in-hand
young horse show champions Perfect
Day and Native Star (both out of Starnite
by Primitive Star) the latter of who won
the 2016 Cuddy qualifier at the BSHA
championships. Dazzling Ruler (out of
Louella Dazzle by Catherston Dazzler)
has started competing in eventing while
three-year-old Making Rock N Rule (out
of Jamakin Faerie Folklaur by Lauriston)
has been awarded high marks and a
gold premium each year, 2018, ’19 &
’20, at the British Breeding Futurity.
For more details contact Talgrwn Stud
www.talgrwn.com
We have also graded the nine year
old Fountain of Youth. This son of Oasis
Dream is out of the well-known mare
Attraction (by Efisio), winner of ten of her
15 races and the first horse to win both
the £1000 guineas and the Irish £1000
guineas in the same season. In 2004 she
was rated the best three-year-old filly in
the world.
Fountain of Youth
Fountain of Youth is standing at Millbry
Hill Stud in North Yorkshire. Millbry Hill
Stud is the former Stanley Grange Stud
in Great Ayton. While former owner and
show producer Jerome Harforth has sold
the property stud manager David Dixon
is retained and continues to run the stud.
Fountain of Youth will stand alongside
the studs’ SHB(GB) graded sport horse
stallions Up with the Lark and the graded
Irish Draught, Castlegar Cool Mist. For

Cruz & Jayne Turney – 2020 Magic Prix St Georges Winter National Champions. Photo - Kevin Sparrow
In recent years the SPSS’s mantra has
been “Performance is paramount:
recognising ability & potential;
facilitating improvement; striving for
success” and we also do what we can
to support all our breeders from the
regular to the occasional. Therefore,
we are delighted to be announcing
that the 2020 SPSS award recipients
are someone who has only ever bred
2 foals but seen one achieve top results
and a young stallion whose breeder has
probably bred in excess of 100 times as
many foals.
So, at the delayed 2020 British
Dressage (BD) NAF Five Star Winter
Dressage Championships, the SPSS
passported gelding Cruz made history
by becoming the first pony to take the
Magic Prix St Georges (PSG) Winter
National Title when he scored 70.79%
to top the leader board. His owner and
rider, Jayne Turney, said through her
tears when interviewed for the live
stream, “he just tries so hard for me
The Sports Pony Studbook Society
SPSS Rewarding Excellence
Championing all breeders
great & small
and always gives 110%”. This was
just the latest and greatest of a string
of successes for Cruz and Jayne, as
they were also the 2013 SPSS Young
Dressage Pony Champions; 2015 BD
Medium Restricted National Champions;
2018 BD Advanced Medium Silver
Reserve Champions and 2019 BD
Advanced Medium Gold Reserve
Champions. Cruz also won the 2014
BD Novice Open National Champions
ridden by multiple Pony Team &
Individual medallist, Phoebe Peters, and
then with both Charlotte McDowall and
Jessie Kirby represented Great Britain
at International FEI Pony Dressage in
2016/7.
Therefore, the 2020 SPSS Breeders
Award goes to Cruz’s breeder, Rachel
Silk, who started Cruz’s story by buying
his dam, Chaneira, as a first dressage
horse for her daughter after she moved
on from ponies. A small Oldenburg
by Don Larino out of the thoroughbred
Cannabis (by Casteddu), Rachel bought
Chaneira through her daughter’s trainer,
Lucy Farrer, who was producing her for
then owner Lois Allard of Coady Bay
Stud who had imported her from her
German breeder, Rainer Ahlers. Sadly
though, after just a year and a promising
start with good scores, Chaneira was
injured in the field and so, as Rachel
thought her a really lovely mare, she
decided to breed from her and Chaneira
had her first foal (by Sheepcote
Wurlitzer) in 2007.
Then, Lois saw Samantha Brown
competing SPSS Elite graded FEI pony
dressage stallion Caesar 171 and
suggested to Rachel that he would
be a great match for Chaneira and a
year later, Cruz was born. When he
was two Cruz was seen and bought
by one of Carl Hester’s pupils, Lucy
Cartwright, who sold him some months
later to another (and undoubtedly the
most famous!) of Carl’s pupils, Charlotte
Dujardin. When Cruz was rising 4,
Charlotte asked her longstanding friend,
Jayne Turney, to back him and this set the
success in motion, with Jayne becoming
his owner in 2019.
Although Rachel describes the breeding
of Cruz as being a series of “happy
coincidences” and says that it was very
much that the right people appeared
at the right time, it was Rachel who
took on the commitment and cost of
breeding and so we are delighted to
acknowledge her key contribution to the
success of Cruz with this SPSS award.

Cruz & Jayne Turney – 2015 Medium
Restricted National Champions
The second of the annual SPSS awards,
the Dancer Medal is generally given to
an SPSS passported or graded pony
and 2020 is no exception. This medal,
which is an original piece of artwork
by Belinda Sillars, is modelled on
the outstanding pony stallion Dancer
who represented both Britain and the
Netherlands at the FEI Pony Euros
and was also a renown sire who still
appears in the pedigree of many of the
current top European dressage ponies.
Therefore, it is highly appropriate that for
2020 it is awarded to another stallion,
Woodlander Sir Gorgeous (Santana
x Synod Rum Punch), who was bred
by one of the UK’s most successful and
prolific sports horse breeders, Lynne
Crowden, and is one of just a few ponies
she produced by using her warmblood
stallions on two Welsh Section C mares
in 2011 and 2012. Sir Gorgeous, who
is known at home as “Riley”, gained an
Elite Futurity Premium (Dressage) as a
foal before being bought by his
long-time owner, Claire Wyatt of
Bromson Stud, as a 2 year old with a
view to producing him to sell as a 3 or
4 year old. However, once Riley had
been backed, dressage rider and trainer
Henry Boswell insisted Claire keep him
and Henry has been training Riley with
a view to him ultimately reaching Grand
Prix ever since. Riley first competed
as a 4 year old in 2016 and, ridden
by Charlotte Drakeley, he qualified for
the 2016 BD Young Pony 4 year old
Championship winning the qualification
class at Addington and then being
Reserve Champion at the Hartpury
Festival of Dressage Final beating other
top class ponies.
The next year, Riley went one better
and became the BD 5 Year Old Young
Dressage Pony National Champion
2017 with highest score over all age
groups. Wins with high scores at
Elementary level in 2018 saw Riley and
Charlotte easily achieving Regional Final
qualification and top 8 finishes in the
both the standard and music sections.
In 2018 & 2019, ridden by Kirsty Imm,
he impressed the crowds at Stallion
Parades and the judges at Medium
and Advanced Medium levels before
Claire’s great friend, James Coombs-
Gyde, took over as rider in 2020 and
success continued at Advanced Medium
level. Now working at Grand Prix level
at home, their aspiration is to compete
at PSG in 2021. Riley was licensed as
an SPSS stallion in 2016 and his first
foal, Bromson Remarkable, was born in
2018 and impressed the Elite Foal Tour
judges to gain an SPSS Gold Premium
and qualify for the Final. Then in 2019
another of his foals, MM Sweet Pea did
SPSS Elite Head Studbook Graded
Chaneira & her 2018 foal, Bickley
the same and was 3rd at the Elite Foals
Tour Final. In 2020 British Breeding
Futurity, 3 of his foals were evaluated
with 2 awarded Gold Premiums and the
other a strong Silver. Carrie Passmore’s
foal, Demi, was the SPSS Top Filly,
Top Small Horse and Overall Reserve
Supreme Youngstock Champion. Claire
says Riley has a fantastic character,
good work ethic, is a quick learner and
lovely to deal with overall. He adores
Claire’s 4 year old niece – who heads
straight for Riley ahead of her own pony
whenever she goes to the barn and
has already got her eye on Riley as her
future pony ride - so fingers crossed
there may also be FEI pony classes in his
future too!
2021 Events
Writing this column with at least another
4 weeks of lockdown to come, we’re
not going to mention the “P” word (ie
plan)! Instead, we will just say that our
aspiration is to work with the British
Breeding Futurity team once again and
we hope that we will be able to do some
“in person” mare and stallion grading
events this year – subject to being sure
we can keep everyone safe. So please
keep an eye out on our Facebook page
and website for announcements once the
situation becomes clearer.

Silvester Testimonials
“Our first foal by Silvester had so many of his sire’s qualities; presence,
wonderful movement and great temperament. We had no hesitation in using
Silvester again to breed from. All our mares are bred by AI, so the quality of
semen is very important to us. In every case our mares have held to the first
insemination using Silvester’s semen.”
Joan Cadzow, Duncrahill Stud
“Alice is the most wonderful yearling. She already has fantastic and
exciting paces, is very easy to handle with very good manners and a lovely
temperament. We were thrilled with Silvester as the sire, he is top class and
we would definitely use him with our mare again.”
Philippa and Martin Clunes
“I have used Silvester seven times and keep going back.
He has incredible fertility and a loving temperament.
His foals are so trainable and have achieved very successful results.
I have had 2 ELITE’s, 5 GOLD premiums and HIGHEST SJ yearling in the
British Breeding Futurity.
Crystal Silver won the Regional Champions at the Elite Foal Tour, she went
on to be highest placed filly at the Elite Finals and the top priced lot sold at
the AES Elite auction.
I am very happy using Silvester with his legendary bloodlines. WG Stud are
very professional and ensure breeding is made easy.”
Sian Harman - Hill View Stud.
“I was very fortunate to gain the ride on In Vogue II by Silvester. We went
from BE100 to completing our first Advanced. She was so brave cross
country and very trainable for dressage, consistently scoring over 70%.
Now, having ridden many horses, I appreciate how special it is to have a
horse that will take you to Advanced. So I had no hesitation when searching
for the next superstar to join my team to look for another Silvester.
I am so excited now to have two young horses by Silvester in my yard, both
incredibly athletic, bold and forward thinking. They are already winning
at their training competitions and are proving the perfect potential event
horses. Silvester produces highly intelligent and classy offspring, the perfect
stamp for an event horse. They are a pleasure to have in the yard.”
Melissa Joannides
“Total Belief has blossomed into a really classy top level horse. She oozes
talent but best of all is her nature. She is the most trainable horse I have ever
ridden and has a huge heart.” (advanced mare Total Belief)
Coral Keen
“Silvester’s conformation, athleticism and kind nature are clear to see. What
is equally impressive when you look further is his genetic generosity - the
consistency with which he produces trainable high quality foals with dams
of a wide range of breeds.”
Michael Peace
“I purchased Ruby (Carthago’s Darco) as a foal from WG Stud. She has
a fantastic attitude and has been very easy to bring on. She’s athletic with
huge power over a fence. She is now consistently jumping 1.30m as a 7 year
old and regularly in the money. I am really excited for her future.”
Charles Richards
“Over the past eleven stud seasons Silvester has demonstrated consistently
high fertility with excellent conception rates.”
Simon Richards BVSc, OVS, MRCVS
“I have used Silvester six times and will certainly do so again. His superb
foals keep me coming back. First time I wondered if I was being extravagant
but the offspring now prove he is worth every penny. Silvester is a serious
sport horse sire and a lovely person and consistently passes on his top class
qualities.”

“I now have a very smart Silvester four year old on my yard. He has a super

VIRTUAL
STALLION EVENT 2021
Just before the new year, we were
excited to announce the Stallion Event
would take place behind closed doors
at the new British Showjumping training
centre. Sadly, just before lockdown was
announced it became apparent that we
could not even run a physical event .
During 2020, British Breeding pushed
forward with the virtual futurity, so with
this experience and a range of highly
successful webinars run throughout the
year, we already have in place the
expertise and facility to run a fully virtual
stallion event.
We are now delighted to bring to you
three wonderful interactive evenings of
stallion viewing. An evening for each
discipline and we kick off with the
Eventing Stallions on Wednesday 10th
February from 6pm.
We have had a bumper entry of
Eventing stallions available to the British
Breeder including two clones, Murkas
Gem and Cruising Arish. With over 30
stallions to view on the evening and ask
questions to their owners/agents this
proves to be a fantastic evening for mare
owners and breeders.
The showjumping evening takes place a
week later on Wednesday 17th February
from 6pm. This has been hugely exciting
to put together as we have stallions that
can be anywhere being able to take
part. We are thrilled to see some of the
best show jumping
bloodlines available
on display from young
up and coming horses to
some older more well
established sires.
The final evening is on
Wednesday 24th
February; we have the
excitement of the
dressage stallions.
The advantage of the
virtual evening is we
can see some of the
older sires who have
retired from competition
such as Flammengold
and the superb pony
stallion Rembrandt DDH
alongside the new
young stallions making
their debuts to
standing at stud.
All evenings should not be
missed; you can enjoy
watching and taking part by
registering at:
www.british-breeding.com/stallion-event
They are also being streamed through
the British Breeding Futurity facebook
page.

With almost 70% Thoroughbred
blood, international successes to
1.45m and one of the best dam
lines in the world, Amiro Z is a
particularly exciting stallion for
breeders of event horses. He has a
superb temperament, and is an easy,
rideable stallion who is quick in the
air and has plenty of scope.
Amiro Z jumped internationally at
1.45m level, including qualifying for
the Lanaken World Championships
for 6-year-olds.
Amiro’s offspring are bold characters
with good temperaments, and
inherit their sire’s jump and power.
His daughter Caunton First Class,
from a Valentino dam, was the 2018
Westfalen eventing champion, and
also champion of the BYEH final at
Bramham. Amiro’s father Amigo Toss
xx goes back directly to the mother
of the famous stallion Le Sancy xx,
the progenitor of Ramzes and Zeus.
Amigo Toss was an Argentinian
stallion brought in by Zangersheide
to add some blood to the Holsteiner
lines. He stood with Zangersheide for
many years and was very successful
in refining their showjumping mares.

He is a successful athlete in his own
right, being a stakes winner with total
winnings of £181,286 from just a few
starts and in the 2010 Italian Derby
he came from the back of the field to
take second, just missing out on first
place. He returned to training after
time off for covering and finished
third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick in
2013. This was his first run back and
demonstrates that not only does he
have speed he also has a super jump.
He has a superb pedigree containing
Northern Dancer and not one, but
two crosses of the famous Grey
Sovereign. The Grey Sovereign
line has been extremely influential
in infusing blood in European
warmbloods and appears in the
pedigree of many top show jumpers
including Olympic performers Clinton
and Corrado. Oldest progeny are
successfully competing in dressage,
show jumping and eventing
across Europe with amateur and
professional riders in all formats
and have been represented in BYEH
classes, Irish eventing young horse
championships, show jumping, and
oldest now 7 competing at CCI 2**

Eventing
“Bamber” is a very exciting young
stallion for British breeders bringing
together some of the top European
and TB lines. His mother is a
successful event mare.
Bamber has exceptional paces and
moves better than many dressage
horses. He was backed as a late
3-year-old, then spent his first season
at stud when Coronavirus hit, so his
training was rather shortened.
He returned to start ridden work
again in the autumn 2020 and will
be starting his competition career in
early 2021.
Bamber has an excellent
temperament and is a great favourite
on every yard he has been at. All
of his mares took in foal at the first
attempt in 2020.
We are very excited about Bamber’s
potential both in the competition
arena and as a British stallion and
very much look forward to seeing him
out competing and his foals following
in his footsteps in the coming years.

Jamhoori

2008 Bay
Eventing
Jamhoori ran 52 times, winning 7
races (2 in UAE) and was placed
12 times. He was also placed once
over hurdles. He ran over distances
ranging from 6f to 2.1 miles.
This tough, versatile stallion has
a lovely, kind temperament and
excellent conformation. He has taken
very well to his new role as a stallion.
Jamhoori is a lovely ride and is
very quick to learn, both on the flat
and over fences. He shows good
technique over a fence and is bold,
yet careful and athletic. He schools
nicely over XC fences and particularly
enjoys jumping bales in the
hay-making season!
We were thrilled to welcome
Jamhoori’s first foals in 2020, who
have inherited his kind temperament,
good looks and have great
conformation and movement. He
enjoyed a great season in 2020,
with every mare conceiving on first
service.
We believe that Jamhoori will be a
great refiner on heavier warmblood
and draught type mares and will
make a particularly suitable sire for
Eventing, Showing and Racing.

His chance at Osberton and the

Dressaage
Malegro, aka Loves Black STH
is an exciting young horse with a
truly exceptional pedigree. The
sire Millenium requires no further
introduction and has become one of
the most influential dressage stallions
of his generation. His mother Catwalk
is successful at international PSG/
Inter I level with the young Dutch rider
Nina Woerts. In her pedigree, we
find great performance lines of the De
Niro son Voice, then Sir Sinclair, and
behind comes, again, the legendary
Gribaldi. The direct motherline has
produced the international
Inter 1/PSG horse Freckle and
the Grand Prix stallion Wup. This
exciting young stallion is showing an
exceptional aptitude for Dressage
work, with natural balance, poise,
and outstanding trainability, which
have seen him make an excellent
start in his competition career, where
he is consistently scoring marks in
the high 70% with high placings in
national young horse classes and
already recording his first wins at
Elementary. He convinces with
beautiful type and three expressive,
effortless gaits.

Maximo JLBA (Max) is a Graded
black PRE Stallion with super
bloodlines, movement and
temperament. Bred in the UK, Max
is by the black Calificado (Spanish
Elite) stallion, Habanero XLI, and is
out of our homozygous black Picos
PRE mare, Inquieta LXIII.
Habanero XLI is one of the only
PREs to represent Great Britain at
International Level (CD13*) in PSG
and Inter 1. Max is a very true-totype
traditional PRE stallion. He has a
fabulous work ethic and is easy
to train. His kind nature also means
that he can be handled and ridden
by both the professional and amateur
alike. With three naturally rhythmical
paces and superb conformation, Max
graded (ANCCE/BAPSH) with ease
as a 3-year-old. Max is achieving
good results both in Young Horse
and Affiliated Dressage classes, but
would also be a good prospect for
showing. Super opportunity for PRE
mare owners wishing to preserve
traditional PRE lines, or for any mare
owners wishing to breed the more
compact dressage horse.

Moondance is a big moving young
stallion by the popular Millennium
son Morricone who has been in the
limelight ever since he became the
champion of his stallion licensing
in 2014. In the following year, he
completed an excellent performance
test with a dressage score of 9.33
and a perfect 10 for his walk. From
the mother Woodlander Dixie Chick,
this striking colt has inherited the huge
expressive movement and freedom
in the shoulder we have come to
expect from the great Dimaggio, in a
compelling mix of modern dressage
lines represented by Woodlander Del
Amitri on the proven performance
breeding of the Elite Wittinger
daughter Wanda from the important
Hanoverian family of Jamuna from
which come almost 500,000 Euros of
sport winnings in Germany alone.
Woodlander Dixie Chick is also

young stallion Debutante’s Dream.
With three expressive gaits and
outstanding presence, as well as a
fantastic, trainable temperament, this

Another great performance package
from Woodlander with the best of
German and Dutch breeding
including the FEI Number 1 stallion,
Jazz. His son Boston combines with
the full sister to Lord Leatherdale
to produce the successful young
stallion Bernay.
Boston himself, was British bred and
first licensed in the UK before being
“stolen” by the German licensing
Judge to stand in Germany where he
soon caught the eye of Isabel Werth.
He was, for sure. A hot ride but
produced wonderful sons standing at
top German studs.
The dam line is a Woodlander
familiar as we were lucky enough to
own the full sister to the stallion
Wenckstern and later to stand the
man himself.
His performance highlights were
all associated with young riders in
International competition with Jacqui
Siu , Jonny Hilberath and Natalie
Hobday all enjoying successful
Grand Prix rides.
The mare family of our young stallion

Let’s start with the sire! Grand Galaxy
Win is an ultra-modern, lustrous
black young stallion by Apache, the
KWPN Grand Prix newcomer. In fact,
Galaxy is the first stallion in Denmark
by Apache, who had 6 sons selected
for this year’s KWPN-licensing. Due
to his type and movements, Galaxy is
a young stallion with great potential.
Galaxy is by the recognised elite
mare Winner T, who is by the Grand
Prix stallion and breeding magnate
Jazz, and therefore, a full sister to
the Prix St. Georges horse Volvo.
In the third generation, we find the
well-reputed Zeolit, sire of numerous
Grand Prix offspring, e.g. Gomerant,
Oscar B and Lawoel.
In 2020, in his first outings, Grand
Designs qualified for the Final of the
Nexgen 4 year old at Hickstead
and also completed his 14 day test in
Germany. He owes much to his dam.

Help to maximise
your stallion’s
fertility
Quirimus - 3 year old Event Gelding
With many performance limiting factors presenting
fertility restrictions across different breed societies to
the depleting numbers in aging horses to simply
sub-fertile stallions, NAF
have brought to the industry
a formulation to support all
stallions throughout their
breeding responsibilities.
Five Star Fertility for Stallions is an innovative new approach
to the challenges of the sub-fertile stallion. Whether the issue is
compromised semen quality, or sexual behaviour dysfunction, the
result is the same – challenges for the breeding yard, potentially
damaging to that stallion’s career. These issues are complex,
with very many factors affecting them, and much can be done in
terms of management and technological advances to maximise a
stallion’s breeding performance. Applied targeted nutrition can be
an important part of that, and New Five Star Fertility for Stallions
brings those nutritional tools together into one, unique, daily
supplement.
Fertility for Stallions provides natural sources of Omega 3 fatty
acids, including DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as research
supports their use, particularly for semen quality in fresh and
cooled semen. The omega fatty acids contribute to the essential
lipids, which are central to sperm quality, as they are an integral
part of both the sperm body and sperm cell membrane. Multiple
sources of essential fats are included, as the we believe the horse is
a complex being which requires a complex nutritional answer, and
no single ingredient will do the job alone.
This high lipid content of semen leaves them vulnerable to
oxidative stress from free radical toxins, and the associated
damage to cells and DNA. Therefore, it is important that we
provide the stallion with natural antioxidants to support clearance
of oxidative stress. Fertility for Stallions provides a combination of
the key antioxidants, organic selenium working with the natural
form of Vitamin E. The natural of Vitamin E (RRR-alpha-tocopherylacetate)
is chosen as it is proven to have better absorption and
better efficiency the more commonly used synthetic form. Zinc is
included as an important co-factor of the antioxidant cascade, but
also because low zinc is associated with depressed testosterone
levels, while positive levels of zinc correlate positively with both
semen volume and viability. The vitamin support of Fertility for
Stallions also includes Vitamin A for normal sperm production
and development, and Vitamin D3, , often known as the ‘sunshine
vitamin’, to maintain healthy levels where stabling and use of rugs
may limit natural exposure to Vitamin D from the sun.

Product - Advertorial
One area that any stallion manager
recognises as being negative to sperm
quality is that of stress. Stress is closely
associated with digestive health, through
the gut-brain axis, which provides
two-way communication between the
central nervous system and that of the
digestive system. Therefore, Fertility for
Stallions includes a complex of digestive
support from pre and probiotics, and the
known mycotoxin binder, bentonite clay,
to enhance digestibility and maintain a
settled digestive system. This will be seen
in the stallion as not only maintenance of
a good Body Condition Score through
the season, but also a supportive effect
on stress. In fact, we could say,
Happy Gut = Happy Horse = Happy Semen
Secondly to stress, we recognise ageing
as a significant factor, with experts
agreeing that reproductive performance
can begin to drop from the late teens.
Yet this isn’t inevitable, as we do see
successful stallions continuing into their
twenties. Therefore, Fertility for Stallions
supports healthy natural ageing with
the inclusion of the adaptogenic herbs.
Adaptogens help the body to adapt
to physiological stress, not only from
ageing but also performance – including
sexual performance. The complex of
adaptogens included in Fertility for
Stallions have been specially chosen to
support roles in both ageing and virility.
The ability of herbal adaptogens to
target stallion behaviour puts Five
Star Fertility for Stallions into a unique
bracket. While the nutrition for semen
quality is recognised, we believe it is
unique to find a product that tackles both
semen quality and stallion behaviour.
Stallion managers agree, nothing is more
frustrating than sitting in the breeding
barn with a stallion who is not ready to
work. Therefore, Fertility for Stallions has
been uniquely formulated by NAF to
target all areas of stallion performance.
Trials
Fertility for Stallions has, over the last
four years, undergone extensive field
trials with some of the country’s leading
stallion yards. Those trials have ensured
te product is easy to feed and palatable
to even the fussiest stallions, as well as
being effective in supporting health,
virility and semen quality. Feedback
has been based on both laboratory
results on semen characteristics, and
observations of stallion behaviour and
condition.
Our trialists all agreed that they noticed
a positive difference in their stallions,
including a significant improvement in
sperm analysis and the horse’s general
condition. To trial a product is one thing,
but to commit to its long term use means
you know you saw a real improvement.
We’re pleased to report that all of our
trialists confirmed they will be keeping
their stallions on Fertility for Stallions for
the future seasons.
”On our older
stallions, the semen
quality is the best
we’ve seen in years’

The ability to trial at Stallion A.I. Services, through Tullis and his team, has been
enormously useful in further assessing the performance of Fertility for Stallions
in breeding horses. The exceptional facilities at Stallion A.I. Services, together
with their library of data from previous seasons, means data could be directly
compared for the same horse in previous seasons. As Tullis puts it himself,
‘After witnessing the results first hand, we recommend Fertility for Stallions for all
stallions as a matter of course.’

Weanling by Tomatillo
Tamarillo’s
Legacy
It is some 7 years since
the cloning of Tamarillo,
and while cloning has
since become more widely
accepted and its importance
in the role of genetic
preservation is recognised,
it still invokes lively
debate and interest.
Back in 2013, when Finn and Mary
Guinness decided to clone their eventing
superstar, it was not legal to carry out
the process in the UK. Cloning was still
experimental, and had been successfully
achieved, mostly in the USA with some
also in France and Italy. Prof. Twink
Allen tried to obtain permission from the
Home office, but the tissue cells from
Tamarillo were eventually taken on a
plane to North America where there is a
centre of expertise for cloning.
Mary Guinness bred Tamarillo at
Biddesden Stud, out of her eventing
mare Mellita, who won an intermediate
with Lucinda Green. Tamarillo’s
sire, Tarnik, was a Polish Anglo Arab
endurance stallion, who was 23%
Arab and won the 26-mile Arab Horse
Society Marathon.
Tamarillo was an exceptional event
horse, having been a member of the
British Team at the Olympics in 2004,
two World Equestrian Games in
2002 and 2006, and the European
Championships in 2005 with rider,
William Fox-Pitt. He also won
Badminton and Burghley.
“Unfortunately, Tamarillo was gelded
long before his abilities were proven, so
that the magic of his genetic
make-up would be consigned to
oblivion when he died, just like that of
other champion geldings in the past”,
explains Finn. “Cloning provides us
with the opportunity to overcome this
situation, and to salvage his genes for
future generations. There are the usual
uncertainties with breeding – the great
performers are not always the greatest
sires, but at least cloning gives us a
chance”.
The Guinesses thought Tamarillo worthy
of cloning because of his special
abilities. “Tamarillo was outstandingly
able in some directions, and this makes
him especially interesting for breeding.
He was a big mover with an exciting
cadence and freedom of trot. He was
also extremely agile – on two occasions
seen on television he got out of trouble
at Badminton, once when he tripped
in Huntsman’s close and another time
getting out of the last element of the
Quarry near the end of the course.
He demonstrated superb stamina at
Badminton and Burghley when winning
there in the rain and he seemed to find
the big fences easy”.
Kathleen McNulty, who ranUS cloning
facility Replica Farm, was responsible for
the cloning process. The process involves
a sample of tissue cells being taken from
the neck and put into culture. A nucleus
from one of those cells is then put into an
unfertilised egg that has had the DNA
removed and this is then stimulated with
a small electrical shock to commence
development into an embryo. It is then
transferred into a recipient mare and
follows a normal gestation, with the foal
being a genetic match to the original.
The foal, called Tomatillo, was born in
the US but once weaned he returned
to Biddesden Stud where he matured
with the other youngsters. Having been
backed and brought on, he competed

Feature - Breeder Profile
up to BE100 last year and is now in the
hands of Aaron Millar who will produce
him to event this season.
There is always a question as to
what sort of horse he would be if he
had been gelded – stallions can be
unpredictable, so it will be interesting
to see how Tomatillo develops.
However, as Tomatillo was wanted
for the purpose of breeding, the riding
side of things, although interesting and
maybe revealing, remains ancillary to
the project. He will have a break from
training for 6 weeks for stud duties.
Tomatillo already has offspring that
are on the brink of starting their riding
career. There is a 4 year old in Norfolk,
and a 3 year old in the paddocks at
Biddesden. “William [Fox-Pitt] is very
knowledgeable about movement, and
he says his walk is better than Tamarillo’s,
while his trot has the same lightness and
fluidity. He is smaller, which may be
because of a hormonal reason as there
is a tendency for stallions to be smaller
than geldings. Their muscling is different
and their coats shinier – this applies to
bulls as well as stallions”, says Finn.
“Our approach to cloning is that it is an
extension to the principle of selective
breeding, to which we all aspire. We
want to preserve and disseminate
excellence and the bloodlines where it
is found. It is not more complicated than
that. Tomatillo stands at Biddesden
for the benefit of our own breeding
programme and for anyone else seeking
stamina, agility, boldness across country
and big movement. There is also frozen
semen available. We are looking to go
forward, not just repeat”, says Finn.
Pure bred arabs have been bred at
Biddesden since the 1930’s using mares
from the Crabbet Stud and they still have
some of the original Crabbet bloodlines
today. The Stud was primarily Pure
bred Arabs but from the early days
there were Anglo Arabs too, mostly
from a Thoroughbred dam. Crossing
the other way was done when the Arab
mare Darya was sent to the Wiltshire
Thoroughbred stallion Master Spiritus
and produced Mellita, dam of Tamarillo.
Tomatillo out with the South Dorset
Since the 1970’s the Guinness family
have also bred Connemaras in Ireland,
making a good mix with a thoroughbred
to produce an eventer. “They have
special merits such as steadiness and
quality, which contribute to producing a
good sport horse”, Finn explains. “Our
main aim is to continue to breed event
horses for the future”.
Finn hopes that they will have some of
Tomatillo’s youngsters to bring to the
British Breeding Futurity evaluations - it
will be fascinating to see how these
offspring develop and if they can follow
in the footsteps of their illustrious relative.

Feature - Stallion Spotlight
Golden Hawk
It’s a little wonder that
Golden Hawk believes and
feels he is the king of the yard
at Breen Equestrian, he is the
most senior stallion there and
one of Shane Breen’s
favourite horses ever.
Golden as he is known at
home, has much to be proud
of. He has won approx.
£350k in prize money and
has jumped the biggest
classes in showjumping all
over the world.
Purchased as a six year from Jos Lansik
by Old Lodge Stud and Breen
Equestrian, he quickly showed his talent
and ability. As a 7 year old, he
contested young horse classes both
nationally and internationally with great
success. When he was only 8 years old
he jumped his first Grand Prix at
Lummen where he was second. In 2014,
80 | BRITISH BREEDER
he jumped his first King George V Gold
cup at Hickstead double clear to gain
5th place. After Hickstead he enjoyed
many good placings on the 5*
winter show circuit at Oslo, Stuttgart and
Helsinki. In 2015, he continued his good
form and made his Nations Cup debut at
La Baule in France. In 2016 he was
second in the 1.60m Grand Prix of
Dublin as well as clear rounds in 5*
Nations cups at Hickstead and
Barcelona. He soon became a Nations
Cup regular for the Irish team, helping
them be in the prize money with fantastic
clears at La Baule and Rome. In 2018
he was a winner at Oslo 5*, London
Olympia 5* show and finished the year
with a super win at the Liverpool 4*
Grand Prix.
In 2019 saw his first attempt at the
famous Hickstead Derby where he
achieved a foot perfect clear round and
finished in 3rd place. He also won the
Derby Trial too and finished the year with
a big win at 4* show Valence in France.
Covid 19 stopped play in 2020 and he
only competed at one show in Vilamoura
where he won the World Ranking class.
This year he will jump some international
classes early spring, then concentrate
on his breeding work before returning to
competition later in the year.
Golden is 168cm high and was born
and bred at Stal de Muze in Belgium.
He is bred in the purple with
outstanding sire and dam bloodlines with
top performance results. He is a Gold BS
Stallion and is graded Elite by the Anglo
European studbook and Breeders Elite
studbook. His sire is Vigo d’Arsouilles
who in 2010 with Philippe le Jeune won
the gold medal at the World Equestrian
Games in Kentucky. Vigo d’Arsouilles’
sire Nabab de Rêve also ridden by
Philippe le Jeune was a member of the
Belgian bronze medal winning team at
the 2002 WEG in Spain. A
well-developed horse out of a strong
dam-line, Vigo d’Arsouilles is
SBS-approved and KWPNrecognized.
As well as Golden Hawk,
Vigo is also the sire of Super Trooper de
Ness (ridden by McLain Ward), Ego van
Oti (ridden by Edwina Tops

News
Alexander), Vagabond de la Pomme
(ridden by Penelope Leprevost)
and Donatella N (ridden by Nicola
Philippaerts). His dam is Ta Belle Van
Sombeke who was a top sport
(competing up to 1.60m under Jos
Lansink) and top breeding mare. Ta Belle
is also mother to Grand Prix horses:
Glocks London, Wabelle de Muze,
Pikap, Casimir de la Pomme, Taran de la
Pomme, Dabelle, Ba Belle van t
Roosakker as well as Golden Hawk
(formerly Figo de Muze).
Golden is a top sire of show jumpers.
He has bred many international horses
competing at top level including several
1.60m level horses.His progeny include
Lorenzo de Luca’s mare Evita van’t
Zoggehof and Evitason van’t Paradjis
(ridden by Matteo Zamara) are both
competing at Grand prix with several
others too. Horses bred at Hickstead
by Golden are looking very exciting
indeed with 7 and 8 year olds making
their mark internationally already. There
is a lovely gelding by Golden out of the
head broodmare at Hickstead called
Zarnita, who herself competed at 1.60m
level and won the Queen Elizabeth cup
at Hickstead. There are several foals,
yearlings and all the other ages at the
stud farm who are really impressive. He
has a very exciting 5 year old stallion
son called BE Aquila who will start his
competing this year.
At home, for the last 10 years Golden
has been looked after by Natty
Biderman who is the yard manager at
Breen Equestrian. In the stable he is
polite and kind, never grumpy and has
never hurt anyone. He is super intelligent
and loves his routine. During the summer
months he is turned out in the field daily
in one of the stallion pens. During the
winter he loves going out hand grazing
to all the nearby verges. He is ridden
daily both in the school by Shane and
hacks out with team members from the
yard. He can have several days off off
ridden work and then tacked up and
ridden and he is well mannered and
behaved. After jumping at a show, his
preferred treat is to get the saddle off
quickly so he can have a roll on the
ground. He is looking forward to getting
back to some shows this year but for the
first time, his schedule will work around
his breeding commitments.
Golden Hawk and the other stallions
at Breen Equestrian have mainly been
operating quietly in the background for
the last few years but 2021 has seen
the building of new facilities for both the
stallions and mares, This means Golden
Hawk and the other stallions will be
available more widely to the public. This
is a really exciting opportunity for British
“Golden Hawk is a
tremendous horse. He is an
absolute pleasure to ride. He is
brave, smart, scopey,
careful and he is a real fighter
in the ring. He has a great turn
of foot, great balance and he
and I have had a great time
together. We have competed
Grand Prix’s, Nations cups
and recently the Hickstead
Derby. For the last number of
years he has been super
consistent for me and he has
taken me all around the world.
Be it indoor or outdoor,
Olympia or Calgary, he has
won in all those arenas. He is
truly a wonderful horse”

an online event due to Covid. It would
have been exciting to show him off to the
audience. He usually misses the event as
he goes to jump in the middle east tours

Article - Vet insight
Endometritis:
A leading cause of
Subfertility in Mares
By Camilla Scott BVetMed, CertAVP(ESM), DACT,
MRCVS - RCVS Recognised Specialist in
Veterinary Reproduction (Equine)
Rossdales Veterinary Surgeons
Introduction
Failure of the normal uterine defence
mechanisms to eliminate bacteria,
sperm or inflammatory products from
the uterus following breeding can
result in persistent breeding-induced
endometritis (PBIE) and chronic infectious
endometritis, both of which are leading
causes of infertility in the mare. It is
a completely normal response that,
following breeding, a mare will mount
a brief inflammatory reaction to aid
removal of non-viable sperm, seminal
plasma, bacteria and debris from the
uterine lumen. A normal or ‘resistant’
mare will clear their uterus by 48 hours
post breeding in preparation for the
embryo entering the uterus on day
5.5-6 after ovulation. A mare with an
abnormal response to breeding who is
‘susceptible’ to PBIE will fail to clear her
uterus without treatment, likely resulting in
embryonic loss. Susceptible mares have
been shown to have issues with their
immune response, specifically increased
levels of inflammatory cells at 6 hours
post breeding, compared to resistant
mares, which have increased expression
of anti-inflammatory cells. In addition,
these mares often have poor perineal
(the region around the vulva and anus)
conformation resulting in compromise of
the external physical barriers preventing
uterine contamination (vulva, vestibule
and cervix) resulting in opportunistic
infection of the uterus. They may also
have issues with uterine contractility,
fluid drainage and failure of cervical
relaxation. Cumulation of these factors
results in both excessive fluid production
and failure to expel uterine fluid and
bacteria appropriately.
Diagnosis
Prior to inseminating or mating
your mare it is recommended
that your veterinarian performs a
breeding soundness evaluation. This
examination involves both a general
physical examination and a thorough
examination of the reproductive tract.
During this examination your vet will
be able to diagnose and potentially
correct any predisposing conformational
issues. Diagnostic testing will also be
performed to determine if your mare has
evidence of endometritis. An ultrasound
examination of the uterus will help
identify any pathological (abnormal)
oedema or fluid in the uterus (Fig 1);
Rossdales partner Fred Barrelet taking an endometrial swab from a mare as part of a breeding soundness evaluation
Figure 1: Excessive uterine fluid accumulation
seen on ultrasound examination
suggestive of infection or inflammation.
Sampling of the endometrium to
determine the presence of any
inflammatory cells, bacteria or fungi can
then be performed (Fig 2).
Figure 2: Fungal culture following
sampling of the uterus
This is routinely done using a
double-guarded endometrial swab
and cytology brush but a more sensitive
test would be using a low-volume flush
technique that enables sampling of the
entire uterus. An endometrial biopsy
may also be recommended which can
help diagnose the presence of chronic
inflammation, scarring of the uterus and
issues with the blood and lymphatic
supply of the uterus. An endometrial
biopsy can also be categorised based
on the prognosis that the mare will
become pregnant and carry a foal to
term. This can be useful when deciding
if your mare is a suitable potential
breeding prospect.
It was previously thought that the uterus
was a sterile environment but it has now
been shown that the equine uterus (as in
women) has its own unique microbiome.
Genetic sequencing has identified
Proteobacteria as the predominant
species in the normal microbiome in
fertile mares. It has been suggested that
any shift in this population may lead to
an increased risk of PBIE and bacterial
endometritis. New diagnostic methods
looking at immune genes are being
developed to identify susceptible mares
and may be useful for future diagnostics.
Risk Factors for Developing
Endometritis
• Poor perineal conformation
• Older mares in poor body condition
that have had multiple foals
• Older maiden mares with failure of
cervical relaxation
• Underlying uterine pathology
• Frozen semen insemination may
exacerbate issues in susceptible
mares.
Treatment Strategies
Due to the complicated, multi-factorial
nature of the disease, treating both
PBIE and chronic infectious endometritis
requires a multi-modal approach.
It is important to correct any
conformational defect. Strict hygiene
should be adhered to at breeding and
ideally the mare should be bred only
once per cycle, preferably to a fertile
stallion.
Six hours has been shown to be critical
for the development of PBIE in resistant
mares and uterine lavage 4- 6 hours
82 | BRITISH BREEDER

post breeding, rather than waiting until
12-24 hours, has been shown to improve
pregnancy rates. Increasing uterine
contractions with drugs such as oxytocin
has also been shown to improve
pregnancy rates in sub fertile mares.
Dexamethasone, a potent
anti-inflammatory given at breeding,
has been shown to increase pregnancy
rates in problem mares and reduce
pro-inflammatory cell production in
susceptible mares. Many other
anti-inflammatories and immune
modulators have been shown
experimentally to have beneficial effects
including platelet-rich plasma and
lactoferrin.
Manual dilation of the cervix or topical
application of prostaglandin-E may
aid cervical relaxation in older maiden
mares. Teasing may also help uterine
drainage through oxytocin release in
response to the stallion and both exercise
and acupuncture can be effective
methods to help clear intrauterine fluid.
Following diagnosis of infectious
(bacterial or fungal) endometritis, the
laboratory will perform antimicrobial
sensitivity testing to determine an
appropriate antibiotic treatment.
Typically, bacterial endometritis is
treated with a combination of uterine
Figure 3: Endometritis-induced discharge
lavage and antimicrobials, however
refractory cases pose a significant
challenge in the breeding industry. It
has been suggested that chronic uterine
infections and failure of antimicrobial
treatment in the mare may be due
to biofilm production. Growth of a
structured biofilm is a common survival
strategy employed by bacteria, as it
confers resistance to antimicrobial agents
and prevents bacterial clearance by the
immune system. Extensive research has
been performed looking at
non-antibiotic agents capable of
disrupting biofilm and mucous, and
killing bacteria within a biofilm. Agents
used include; N-acetylcysteine (NAC),
hydrogen peroxide and Dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO). A commercial
product, BActivate, has also been
developed to activate dormant
Streptococcus spp. bacteria, making
them more susceptible to antibiotic
treatment.
Post Breeding Intrauterine Infusions
Historically many practices routinely
infused every mare post cover and
some studies have shown this to improve
pregnancy rates in older mares
(>12 y) and those covered at foal
heat. There is concern that the potential
for contamination at natural cover is
high and that it may not be possible to
determine which mares are going to
be susceptible to infection until after
breeding. However, treating young,
healthy mares without any clinical signs
should be avoided, as it is likely to
lead to antibiotic resistance and may
increase the chance of iatrogenic or
fungal infections. Post-breeding infusions
are also not indicated where artificial
insemination is performed as this is
a minimal contamination procedure
and semen extender already contains
antibiotics.
Breeding Prognosis
Whilst both the diagnosis and treatment
of endometritis can be challenging,
the prognosis for a mare to become
pregnant and carry a foal to term should
be good with appropriate treatment and
management.

OPU THE FUTURE OF SPORT HORSE BREEDING
We were the first in the UK to offer OPU. After the successes of last year (67% of OPU
sessions resulted in one or more embryos) our team of reproduction specialists are ready
to receive your mares.
With OPU/ICSI, the embryo production happens in the lab and this has many advantages:
• Little interruption to competition (single hospital visit)
• No hormonal manipulation of the cycle
• OPU can be performed out of the breeding season
• More efficient use of frozen seme n since a single straw can be
used for multiple OPU sessions
• Embryo production of subfertile mares or stallions
• Embryos are frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen and
transferred at the desired moment

“QUICK FIRE”
Feeding Questions for
the Mare and Foal
Liz Bulbrook BSc (Hons)
How can you boost your mare’s health and
fertility ahead of planning her covering?
Mares who are significantly over or under weight are
less likely to conceive so, if necessary, the diet should
be adjusted so that a mare is in good condition prior to
covering. She should be maintained on a fully balanced
diet ie. the recommended amount of a good quality
compound feed or balancer, to support health,
well-being and fertility up to and throughout the covering
process and from conception onwards
86 | BRITISH BREEDER

Feature - Feeding Article
Why do broodmares need
specifically formulated feed and
at what stage do they need this?
Correct nutritional support for the
broodmare is necessary from conception
onwards, since the foetus is growing and
developing from this point. Minerals
are of particular importance in foetal
development as are amino acids - the
building blocks of protein ie body tissue.
The amino acid, lysine, for example, is
essential and a deficiency will affect
foetal growth so a good quality stud
feed or balancer must be fed, rather than
a low energy or other “non-stud” feed,
which simply won’t be formulated to
meet requirements.
What essential nutrients/
minerals are required to help
support fertility and reproductive
efficiency? Can correct feed help
aid fertility in mares and how
does this work?
In particular, Omega 3 fatty acids are
essential for fertility in both sexes as they
are incorporated into cell membranes so
are important for healthy sperm and egg
production. Other nutrients involved in
fertility include the anti-oxidants, vitamins
E and C and selenium, whilst
beta-carotene and zinc, also have
proven benefits for increasing fertility.
All these nutrients should be supplied
by a fully balanced diet, which is
achieved by feeding the recommended
quantity of an appropriate good quality
stud mix, cube or balancer. Where
fertility problems do occur, nutritional
supplements with a sound scientific basis
are may be worth considering.
Are there differences in feeding
different types of broodmares –
eg warmbloods, Thoroughbreds,
natives etc?
Are there differences in feeding different
types of broodmares – eg warmbloods,
Thoroughbreds, natives etc?
Just as at any other time in her life, the
broodmare should be fed according to
condition and bodyweight so those who
maintain condition well on forage alone
may only need their diet supplemented
with a specially formulated low calorie
stud balancer, while those who need
more calories to maintain condition,
are better suited to a stud mix or cube.
Whichever supplementary feed is
chosen, it should be fed at recommended
levels, according to bodyweight, in order
supply a balanced diet and support
correct foetal development.
How do you accurately weigh
up how much to feed your
broodmare through the different
stages?
Always refer to the feed manufacturer’s
guidelines to gauge how much to feed
and, if you have any doubts, contact
their nutrition team for tailored advice.
Provided you have chosen a specially
formulated feed for breeding stock,
nutrient levels, when fed according to
recommendations, will be sufficient to
support the growing foetus and maintain
the health and well-being of the mare.
As with any other horse, the mare’s
condition throughout pregnancy will
dictate whether she needs additional
calories from her stud feed.
Once lactating, a mare’s calorie
requirements increase by as much as
44% and nutrients, such as protein,
calcium, phosphorous and vitamin A,
will be in particularly high demand.
Feeding recommendations will therefore
be increased accordingly and should be
followed closely, while keeping a close
eye on the condition of both mare and
foal. If grass is good, this may provide
sufficient calories and a stud balancer
should be fed to provide the additional
supporting nutrients. For mares who lose
body condition during lactation, a stud
mix or cube will be more appropriate.
Are stud balancers essential for
broodmares and why?
Stud balancers, like other balancers,
provide essential vitamins, minerals and
quality protein at levels and proportions
to meet the needs of breeding and
young stock, but without the calories
associated with a traditional stud mix
or cube. This makes them ideal as the
sole concentrate, alongside forage, for
mares who are good-doers or maintain
condition well on forage alone. They
are also useful when less than the
full recommended amount of mix or
cube are fed, as they can be added
to bring nutrient levels up to provide a
fully balanced diet without unwanted
calories.
How and when should you
introduce your foal to a foal mix?
This can be dictated by the mare’s own
genetics so first ensure that her diet is
providing all she needs for lactation &
maintenance of body condition then,
if a suckling foal struggles to maintain
condition on mother’s milk alone, it can
be given a milk-based foal creep feed,
up to around three months of age. This
will provide the necessary additional
calories, which are not being provided
by milk, as well as the required vitamins,
minerals and quality protein to support
correct and even growth.

nutrition@baileyshorsefeeds.co.uk
How much feed
do youngstock
need in addition
to ad lib forage
(turnout) through
the seasons?
There is often a reluctance to feed
youngsters, particularly good-doers,
for fear of causing growth problems.
Protein is often still labelled as the
culprit, despite research highlighting
that excessive energy (calorie) intakes
and insufficient vitamin and mineral
support are the main precursors
to growth problems. Monitoring
youngsters’ growth rates and
bodyweight, by using weightapes,
weighbridges or growth charts, can act
as a useful management tool for foals
and yearlings and highlights those
that may be growing above or below
average, allowing early adjustments to
be made to the feed and management
programme.
Youngsters’ requirements for nutritional
support is at its greatest up to around
18 months of age so it is important to
follow feed manufacturers’ guidelines
to ensure a fully balanced diet
and even growth rates. Specially
formulated stud balancers are
particularly useful where horses
maintain condition well on forage
alone but if there is any doubt, contact
a feed company helpline who can help
develop feeding programmes tailored
to forage quality and individual
youngsters’ needs.
