Great British Racing International (GBRI) and the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) have today launched the first episode in a new six-part video series entitled 'Be A Part Of It: Breeding In Britain'.
Kirsten Rausing's Lanwades Stud is the focus of the first episode in a series designed to showcase Britain's world-leading thoroughbred breeding operations and highlight why many of the world's most prolific owner-breeders have chosen Britain as the headquarters for their bloodstock interests. Tweenhills, Watership Down Stud, Shadwell Stud, the National Stud and Hazelwood Bloodstock also feature in the series.
One episode will be released each Monday via the GBRI and TBA social media channels and can also be found here on GBRI's website. The final episode will launch on Monday, November 25 ahead of the Tattersalls December Breeding Stock Sales.
The series this year follows on from a similar campaign in 2023 that featured Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud, Blue Diamond Stud, Darley's Dalham Hall Stud, Newsells Park Stud and Whitsbury Manor Stud.
Camilla Perrett, head of client relations and marketing at GBRI, said, “Britain is home to world-leading breeding operations and this series portrays six of those studs with the aim of encouraging future international investment into British breeding.
“Breeders from all around the world have set up studs or broodmare bands in Britain, recognising the outstanding boarding facilities, welfare standards and the expertise of the breeding industry here.”
Philip Newton, chairman of the TBA, added, “With British-bred and raised horses winning all around the world, it is only natural that foreign-based breeders would want their stock to be born and brought up in Britain. This coupled with having quality turf stallions, including two all-time greats of the bloodstock world, Frankel and Dubawi, Britain is an attractive destination.
“We are delighted to showcase a selection of studs through the series who encourage and welcome foreign investment.”
