With the support of Harness Racing Victoria and sponsors, Llowalong Farms, Woodlands Stud & Alabar, HBV was able to bring breeders and potential breeders together to network, socialise and most importantly learn! With experts Dr Kath McIntosh, Dr Francesca Worsman and Dr Clarissa Brown-Douglas, over 80 guests learnt about the latest in reproductive and nutritional health. A fascinating interview was also given by Kentuckiana Farms owner-partner, Ken Jackson which you can watch below. Over a dozen businesses were able to offer one-on-one advice about products, services and importantly stallions while enjoying drinks and delicious finger food from the Shepparton Harness Racing Club, you can watch interview with each of them in a dedicated playlist on our YouTube Channel.
A big highlight of the evening was the members’ draw to win one of three stallion services:
Woodlands Stud’s AMERICAN IDEAL ($11,000) went to new member Malcolm Wells
Alabar’s VINCENT ($4,950) went to Stuart McDonald
Llowalong Farm’s PASTOR STEPHEN ($4,950) went to Darren Taylor
A thank you again to event sponsors, trade stall holders and guests who turned out to make this first event so successful. We look forward to bringing more of these events to other parts of Victoria in the future.
