As the largest equine breeding event in the North, the fourth annual Northern Stallion Showcase will welcome leading studs from as far afield as Somerset to Newton Rigg College Equestrian Centre in Cumbria this Sunday, March 26th.
Easy access, just off Jcn 40 of the M6!
A wide variety of stallions with exceptional bloodlines will be presented at the high-profile fixture, supported once again by Baileys Horse Feeds.
