Half-bred foals on show: THE Half Bred Horse Breeders Society Ltd is holding its 11th Performance Foal Show at Mossvale EC in Dromara, Co Down next Saturday, September 13th. The show is aimed at the producers of performance foals and is judged on conformation, type and athleticism and foals will be assessed in-hand and loose.

The HBHBS runs the show with a view to helping breeders of performance foals to promote and showcase their stock and to offer potential purchasers and spectators the opportunity to see future equine athletes from Northern Ireland’s top breeders. The winner will also receive the handsome HBHBS mare and foal trophy, presented by Sean Nugent.
