THE pioneering collaboration between the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) and International Stud Book Committee (ISBC) is a welcome development for thoroughbred fans worldwide.

One of the agreement’s aims is to recognise and promote the contribution of the thoroughbred to sport and sport horse breeding; another is second career options for retired racehorses. Similar to the work already carried out here by Treo Eile.
