Hello milltiger. Like all other breeds and types of horses pure and part bred Cleveland Bay horses contain within their overall population examples of exceptional, very good good, bad and some indifferent animals. There is nothing unusual about that. What is different in respect to the...

Hello Adina, You say above: - “JP I have not said who bred the foal. Not sure what you are trying to say, or perhaps meaning was lost in the edit.” I thought that what I meant was quite clear but obviously not so I will explain again. Put simply, like all other Defra approved...

Clippy I note your comments above: - “I was reading on a social network site the other day of someone who bred a pure-bred foal but the CBHS wouldn't let her register it. She offered to supply DNA but they wouldn't process her application. The general feeling (according to replies to her...

Harveysmom, You say “The point that bothers me the most is that you keep saying people are running the CB down” You said on the 09/11/12 at 06:30PM to agree with comments made by magnificsporthorses when she stated that “Former CB horse inspectors were among those supporting the proposed...

Talkingshell. Can you explain to me what the purpose of your question is? I understand that we were discussing a point of principle which is whether or not Cleveland Bay horse breeders should register their pure Cleveland Bay horses with the CBHS here in the UK which is the acknowleged Stud...

Hello Harveysmon. You say: - “ I understand your concerns with getting more horses registered with the mother society, but excluding a perfectly eligible horse because it is not registered is indeed a waste with the risk of repeating myself again, the other societies are AWARE of the...

Hello Harveysmon. You say: - ***8220; I understand your concerns with getting more horses registered with the mother society, but excluding a perfectly eligible horse because it is not registered is indeed a waste with the risk of repeating myself again, the other societies are AWARE of the...

Hello Humbugsey. Thank you for posting the link to the video of the Duke Of Edinburgh’s part bred Cleveland Bay horses combined trials driving team. I enjoyed watching it. You asked the question: - “ I have no involvement in Cleveland’s but thought this video may be of...

Hello Rollin, I wish you well with breaking Hattie, your plans to compete her in endurance events next year and to breed from her in 2014. I am aware of some longstanding Cleveland Bay horse breeders here in the UK who pay the CBHS membership fee for people who buy foals from them, if they...

Hello Rollin. Congratulations on acquiring Highpasture Hattie. She should make a good addition to your growing band of pure Cleveland Bay horses and compliment your stallion, Afondale Highlander. I look forward to hearing from you in due course that she is in foal to him and that a healthy...

Hello Harveysmom. I am pleased that you are a member of the CBHS and that you “ recognize that the society is the internationally recognized breed society.” I don’t see the logic behind the example that you have cited in your post concerning the fact that both...

Hello Talkingshell. You said in your post above: - “No I did not change my mind, as I simply just agreed with what I read. I am trying to be one united to everyone who clearly love and show support for the Cleveland Bay breed, not disagree to everything! If I don't think it's right I...

Harveysmom I am not “nit picking ‘. My comment about the CBHS being the internationally recognized Stud Book holder for the Cleveland Bay breed is a matter of some substance and should not be dismissed as you have attempted to do. I don’t know if you are a member of the CBHS but if you are then...

Hello Talkingshell. I am pleased that you say that:- " "Purebreds needs to be entered into the same Stud Book that is maintained by the recognised Breed Society under the same set of eligibility rules if the breed is going to be able to be preserved as a distinct one going forward" <-----...

Hello Talkingshell, You say:- " So we need to get behind and find a one unite for this breed and fly the CB flag any where in the World today." Again I agree which is why I have said above that all Cleveland Bay breeders should get behind the CBHS and register their horses in it's Stud Book...
