Now in its fourth year, this free-to-attend event will bring together industry experts involved in breeding, buying, preparing and trading thoroughbreds to explore the commercial considerations that influence decisions at every stage of the bloodstock market.
From purchasing foals to pinhook as yearlings or breeze-up prospects, through to sourcing horses in training, the discussion will examine what buyers are looking for, the factors that influence value and demand, and the opportunities and challenges facing those producing horses for the sales ring and racetrack.
Hosted by racing broadcaster Vanessa Ryle, the panel will include Tom Blain, Managing Director of Barton Stud and TBA Trustee; Sam Hoskins, breeder and syndicate manager; Adam Potts, bloodstock agent for BBA Ireland; Ellie Whitaker, breeze-up consignor, EMW Equine and Roderic Kavanagh of Kildaragh Stud and Glending Stables in Ireland.

The Thoroughbred Breeders Association has annouced the dates of its flagship event, the annual Stud Farming Course, for 2026, and booking are now open!
This ever-popular course provides delegates with a comprehensive overview of key stud management topics and features a series of talks from industry experts, including those from Newmarket Equine Hospital, Rossdales Veterinary Surgeons and the Royal Veterinary College.
