British Breeding have announced plans for their renowned Futurity evaluation series to go digital this year as a result of the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the support of their long term sponsor, Baileys Horse Feeds, the team made the decision to turn to a digital format having considered the requirements and risks of holding the physical evaluations.
Entries will open on 1 July and the series will run until the end of August. A 2-part live training webinar will be held on 23rd and 24th June to help breeders prepare their entries, and these will be available to watch again on the British Breeding website. High scoring entries in the digital series will also be eligible for selection for a new online Elite Futurity Auction to be held in September. The 2020 Futurity series also has a prize fund up for grabs, and significant cash awards presented by a leading studbook for top scoring foals on their register.
“Our highly respected team of international evaluators normally travel from all over Europe to assess our young stock. We felt that the risks of travel for them, and our dedicated team of vets, scorers, nutritionists and organisers under the current conditions, was too much to ask, even if restrictions were to be lifted sufficiently to allow them to make the journey”, explained organiser, Eva Maria Broomer of British Breeding.
