We had a great time at the British Breeding Breeders Awards Dinner 2018, and were very proud to see so many AES breeders recognised for their fantastic achievements.  Baileys Horse Feeds/British Breeding/BEF Certificates of Merit were awarded to: Idento  (Argento x Alexandrias Whiteface Sow) bred by Karen Robinson Kingston Star  (Balou Star x C Vera Z) bred by Tim and Kate Betteridge and the AES licensed stallion Balou for Pleasure (Balou du Rouet x Lordships la Rochelle) bred by Lisa Maynard and Chris Jackson. The British Eventing Young Horse Breeders Medal 4 Year Old Award went to Zoe Feeney for Just Soda No Ice  (Stallone Quainton x Ryans Daughter).  In the British Showjumping Young Horse Awards, 2 of the 3 prizes went to AES breeders and horses: The 5 Year Old category was won by Vancurtis (Vangelis S x Curragh Curtis) bred by David Fudge and owned by Team Crows Nest. The 7 Year Award went to Greenacres Diadoro (Diarado x Verita Z), bred by Christine Mart and owned by Greenacres Stud. Congratulations to everyone! We are excited to follow the future carees of these super horses.
