The European Federation of Thoroughbred Breeders' Associations held its AGM this week in Newmarket where a number of key challenges and potential threats facing the industry were discussed.
Major topics of discussion included the European Union's proposed animal transport regulations, mandatory vaccinations and much more.
Commenting on the AGM, EFTBA Chairman Joe Hernon said, “The federation will continue to combat against the serious threats facing Europe's thoroughbred breeding industry, our fellow breeders and their livelihoods, while ensuring equine wellness is at the centre of all our actions and decisions.
“Despite such challenges, we can rightly take pride in our industry, which for us all is a wonderful and rewarding way of life. It is in this vein we will continue to be the guardians of the thoroughbred and strive to make it current and respected in an ever-changing world.”
