FOALING RETURNS / IDENTITY FORMS

When your mare returned from stud last season you should have received, along with your covering certificate, a package consisting of a yellow Foaling Return (marked 2009 season), a Registration/Identity diagram and, in the case of an RID mare being covered by an RID stallion, a DNA envelope and label and these will be inside an envelope addressed to the office.

However, PLEASE DO NOT USE this identity diagram, as it is part of the old style passport and must be changed for a new one, which can be downloaded or, if you know anyone who does not have internet access, I will send one (e-mail Norma on prATidhsgbDOTcom)
The envelope in the pack is marked ‘Foaling Return’ and is provided so that the foaling return can be completed and sent back to the office as soon as possible after the foal is born in 2010. It cannot be emphasised enough that your Covering Certificate is the most important document you will receive and should be kept in a safe place.

For the 2010 season, the foaling returns will be incorporated into the covering book. These changes have been designed to save time and a great deal of money in postage.

PLEASE NOTE: Unless you notify us, we have no way of knowing if a pure bred or graded (RID/AID/SID) mare has been covered by a stallion of another breed. Anyone who has such a mare and who wishes to register the foal with this Society, should contact Norma immediately for a foaling return and registration form.

If you did not received your registration pack, or if anyone has any queries regarding the Covering Certificates or Foaling Returns, please contact me on 01845 567005 or 07785 933833 or e-mail me at: prATidhsgbDOTcom

LANCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY SHOW
SUNDAY 4 JULY 2010

The Lanchester Agricultural Society Show is well established and efficient - this year will be our 58th Annual Show - and we are pleased to announce that for the first time we are introducing Irish Draught Classes across the board.
There will be In-Hand classes, including Brood Mare and Foal plus Qualifier for the New Snowford (GB) Breeding Championship, Youngstock Classes, plus Qualifier for the NFU Pure Bred Youngstock Championship and Ridden Irish Draught Classes including a Qualifier for the Blue Chip and IDHS(GB) £2,000 Challenge. All three Championship Finals will be held at the Irish Draught Horse Society Breed Show at Arena UK in September.

Our show is well organised, with a kind and friendly environment for horses. The show already includes major qualifiers including Puk and BSPS summer championships, RIHS (coloureds), Bronze Medal welsh classes, Cherif PBA classes and we hope that the addition of the Irish Draught Classes will further enhance the Show.

As well as Equine Classes, Lanchester Agrultural Show also holds a cattle and sheep section.

There is an extensive local Farmers Market and refreshments and bar.

We are very pleased to welcome the Irish Draught classes to our show. Please do support us in this new venture and send SAE for a schedule to: C Miller, Escomb Farm, 81, Low Escomb, Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham DL14 7SW.

We look forward to seeing you there.
