This year's Showcase, again supported by Baileys Horse Feeds, will welcome visitors from across a very wide region and as more entries are confirmed, the opportunity to evaluate a large number of potential sires ahead of the main breeding season is attracting increasing interest. 


Amongst the busiest of the studs at the Showcase will once again will be Glenwood Stud from Stamfordham in Northumberland, which has a number of stallions entered. Val Williams confirmed; "Glenwood has been bringing stallions to the Northern Stallion Show Case since it started a few years ago. We have always found it to be extremely well run and a great day for everyone. We have certainly gained clients from taking our stallions to this event as they can be seen in their stables,  we can chat to the mare owners in depth and they can watch them moving in hand, ridden or jumping, depending on the stallion.  We are delighted to be taking stallions again this year."

Emma Greenland from Ivy House Stables Stallion Centre has the shortest distance to travel from Skelton near Penrith and is another 'regular' at the Showcase. She will again present the thoroughbred son of Kyllachy, Arabian Gleam and said; "We are looking forward to bringing Arabian Gleam back to our local stallion showcase, meeting customers old and new and hopefully creating a bit more of a buzz about our special boy!"

Breeders of horses and ponies from across a wide region are expected to travel to Newton Rigg College Equestrian Centre for the 2018 Northern Stallion Showcase, supported once again by Baileys Horse Feeds, at which stallions with exceptional bloodlines will include representatives of Britain’s internationally renowned native breeds, in addition to athletic, internationally successful sport horses and ponies with proven performance records and outstanding progeny.
The 2017 entry included seven outstanding Connemara stallions, some of which had travelled from Ireland for the showcase.

Together these stallions offer a unique opportunity for everyone interested in the breeding of horses and ponies to view an impressive variety of potential sires from studs around the country ‘in the flesh’ and to discuss individual breeding plans for the 2018 season with the stallion owners and stud managers. Many of the stallions will be stabled on site and visitors to the Showcase will be able to view them in the stables during the lunchtime and other breaks in the day’s programme.

Confirming ongoing support for the event, Baileys Horse Feeds Marketing Manager Jane Buchan commented: “We’re delighted to continue with our support for the Northern Stallion Showcase and will be looking forward to seeing the stallions and meeting breeders. Events like this are invaluable to British breeders, giving them the chance to make informed choices for their mares, having seen and met the stallions themselves.”

Advance tickets to the Northern Stallion Showcase cost just £4.00 (with under-8s free) and include free parking and a programme. There will be trade stands and all-day catering.

Pam Harrison from the organising team confirmed: “There is a lot of enthusiasm and support for what is the biggest stallion showcase in the region, as it allows breeders to see and evaluate a large number of stallions without having to commit time for travelling to all the different studs around the country. There are plans to develop the event further this year, with additional temporary stabling to accommodate more stallions from further afield and the return to a Saturday date should enable more breeders to attend the Showcase this spring.”
