We wish all our Futurity entries at Hartpury  every success on the day and hope you will find the experience rewarding and enjoyable.

We are delighted to be able to share a link to our event timetable

GB PRE who are very kindly hosting the event have also provided us with very useful venue maps and layout plan.

An important note about mare and studbook gradings: These will be available at Hartpury for a number of studbooks, please do not hesitate to contact us before the day to make sure we set this up for you.

Please let us know on the day so that we make sure the team are aware. If you require any assistance contacting the relevant studbook, please do not hesitate to contact us. We cannot guarantee that studbook gradings will be possible unless you let us know about your requirements beforehand.

Who is who and
What happens on the day:

Our Futurity event office is run by Sasha Melia who will be able to help you with any questions during the run up to the event. You can reach her under britishbreeding@gmail.com, 07799 701521.

Please make sure you arrive in good time. On arrival, please make yourself known to Sasha as your British Breeding team representative on site. If you have any questions on the day or require further help, she will be happy to assist you.

Sasha will be able to confirm your times with you and point you in the right direction for your vet assessment. 

Your vet on the day will be Hannah Briggs, who is highly experienced and who already supported us at many Futurity venues over the years. With him he will have Lorna Edgar from Baileys Horse Feeds and Anna Jerbo, our scorer.

Once you have completed the vet evaluation you will be invited to come forward to the indoor school for your frame and movement assessment. This part of the evaluation will be led by Katy Holder-Vale and Carron Nicol who will be joined by our linear scorer Lucy Simpson.

Following your assessment you will receive immediate feedback and your overall score and rosette. You will also be able to collect your verbal feedback sheet breaking down your marks for each part of the assessment. In the days following the evaluation your linear score will also become available online. Due to varying internet speeds at venues please allow for a few days for that to catch up, we will be in touch!

We are delighted to have Tanja Davis there on the day as our photographer. Tanja does a wonderful job and we will be sharing her contact details with you after the event. 

A small note regarding the use of whips and rattles: These are permitted to encourage our entries to go forward and to promote safety with the older entries. However, please be aware that now more than ever we are all under public scrutiny, and use whip aids sparingly and in a considered manner. Contact with the whip is to be avoided.

Please also ensure that you are wearing correct safety equipment. Hard hats are mandatory, gloves are encouraged, and please ensure you wear sturdy footwear.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, and we are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!
