Thinking about owning a broodmare? The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association's (TBA) Broodmare Ownership Guide has everything you need to know before you begin, and it’s now available as a free digital guide on TB-Ed.
Designed to sit alongside the printed and PDF versions, the digital guide makes it easier than ever to find what you need, when you need it. Read it on your phone, dip into it on your tablet at home, or work through it on your laptop. It adapts to whatever screen you’re using, so there’s no zooming, scrolling sideways or hunting through pages.

Every thoroughbred has a story and traceability is how we make sure that story doesn't get lost along the way. From registration with the General Stud Book to covering certificates, ownership changes and career moves, each stage is a touchpoint.
Miss one, and a gap opens up in the record of where that horse is and who's responsible for it.
The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) set out to tackle these data gaps as closing them is a shared responsibility, from the breeder who registers the foal to the owner who takes it on years later.
To help make sense of it all, the TBA has launched a new animated resource and it's free to view.
