This year they have decided that there will be no Forest run stallion passing.

The decision made is 20 stallions will run out on the forest, for 4 weeks only - the 5 that have wintered out plus the 15 highest scoring unrelated stallions from last year's passing.

They're worried about the quantity of foals and the prices they're not making at the auctions, and the effect that the credit crunch will have on an already not-doing-very-well price climate

The Society is so pro-active. I think that it is a credit to them & the commoners, verders etc


The Stud stallion inspection will go ahead :)

Good on them - restricting numbers and going for quality means there won't be so many unwanted youngsters out there being passed from pillar to post.

oooh, can you imagine if your stallion came in 16th!!! how annoying would that be!!!

Good on them for going down the quality route....shame certain dog breeds couldn't be doing the same at the moment!
