Baileys Horse Feeds/British Breeding Futurity ELIGIBILITY TO ENTER FUTURITY

Please read in full below

British bred
All entries must be British bred. British bred means that the horse was either foaled in Great Britain or foaled abroad to a dam normally living in Great Britain that had been temporarily exported for the purpose of breeding only. Neither the country of origin of the dam nor the country where the foal’s sire is based nor the country of issue of the horse’s passport is relevant in determining whether or not the foal is British bred. It is preferable that all entries are registered with a UK studbook.

Exemptions

• In the case of entries for the Endurance discipline only, the consideration of any criteria for sire eligibility does not apply.
