Pedigree & Conformation Clinic
October 18-19 in Lexington, Ky.
This two-day clinic covers many aspects of conformation and pedigree theories. Dr. Robert Hunt of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute will set the foundation of knowledge with a lecture on ideal Thoroughbred conformation and conformational faults. The clinic will then conduct live conformation evaluations of yearlings at the Fasig-Tipton sale, led by a balanced combination of consignors and bloodstock agents. Saturday will wrap up with a private VIP lunch and an afternoon of racing at Keeneland.
Sunday will kick off with discussions on pedigree theories and planning matings, followed by a visit to Ashford Stud to evaluate conformation of mares and stallions. The experts at Ashford Stud will also discuss conformation management and corrective procedures for young horses.

Interested in Becoming a TOBA Sponsor Member?
TOBA’s long-term success as the national trade organization of Thoroughbred owners and breeders is due largely in part to the continued support of its members.

Each year after the initial $1,000 sponsor membership fee, sponsor members just pay the normal annual dues to maintain their sponsor membership.
