        While this mare owned and shown
        by Wendy Ansell  
        from Coldstream Park Warmblood Stud  
        was the only entry in the TB Broodmares with foal at foot class, it is interesting to note
        that  many of the previous quality exhibits were from throroughbred (xx) mares,  
        and this highlights the role that quality thoroughbreds 
        have played in the breeding of performance horses.Many of the top international performance horses 
        are seen to be warmbloods, but a closer inspection of their pedigree will reveal the
        content of thoroughbred blood (which is often very high).   
        The practise of classification ensures that we only  
        breed to suitable types, with movement,  
        temperament and conformation.  |
