The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) and Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) have collaborated with the announcement of a webinar designed to primarily educate and inform racehorse owners and bloodstock enthusiasts considering thoroughbred breeding for the first time.
The webinar titled 'From Paddock to Winning Post: Getting Started in Thoroughbred Breeding' will take place on Monday, April 27 at 6pm. Offering a practical and accessible introduction to breeding, it will have a particular focus on owners of fillies nearing the end of their racing careers and featuring guest speaker, multiple Group 1-winning owner turned breeder, Emma Banks.
The webinar will be hosted by TBA chief executive, Naomi Mellor, and feature contributions from Banks, along with Joe Grimwade, industry expert and author of the TBA's Broodmare Ownership Guide.
Mellor said, “We are really looking forward to opening up the conversation on the process of breeding for the first time and are particularly thrilled and grateful to Emma Banks for agreeing to join our panel to discuss her own journey into the sector, including the challenges she faced.
“This is just one example of our collaboration with ROA this year to identify different touchpoints along the ownership journey where individuals may be thinking about breeding their fillies as they either reach retirement age or are finishing their racing career and what to consider when taking those first steps.
“This webinar forms part of the TBA's wider effort to build awareness, accessibility and confidence around breeding and to help nurture the next generation of British thoroughbred breeders and we would encourage anyone with an interest to register.”
A live Q&A will close the session, giving attendees the chance to put questions directly to the panel. The webinar will be recorded and made available to watch via the TBA's digital learning platform, TB-Ed.
