We would encourage any breeders to get in touch with our team to discuss their mares and look forward to building on the relationships we have established over the past year.”Scheduled to take place at Chippenham Park on Wednesday, July 8, the TBA Flat Breeders' Awards comprise 13 prizes which will be presented over the course of the evening.
