TRAKEHNER VIRTUAL GRADING 2024
Following the cancellation of the central grading due to lack of entries and some health issues, we have been discussing options with the Trakehner Verband for Trakehner mare grading in 2024.
One of the main problems is the geographic location of each mare requiring grading from Devon - N Yorkshire to W Wales. It is not viable for the judges to travel to each location for one mare. Breeders are reluctant to travel mares and foals to a central location. We think the best solution, and agreed by the verband is to do a virtual grading as we did during Covid.
This would require entries to supply video footage of their horse in the various stages eg standing conformation, Walk, trot and canter. These would be in short clips rather than one long video so the file sizes not to large. The horse can then be assessed by the judges and given marks for grading and approval. We will supply details of the videos required. Please see link below to Guidance Notes of the videos required.
Entry Fee per mare is £60 to be transferred to the TBF Bank Account (See entry form for bank details)
Entries Close : 20th September 2024
Video submissions to be received by 20th October 2024
