The 2024 breeding season is fast approaching and some of you may be weighing up stallion options for your broodmares. If you are considering using frozen semen, we've taken a look at the benefits:

- Planning ahead - Frozen semen can be ordered and shipped well ahead of the breeding cycle and stored with your vet until ready for use.
- Conception rates - Evidence-backed research shows that, with a fertile mare, using frozen semen with commercially acceptable motility (at least 30%) may have similar conception rates to chilled semen.
- Specialist processing - Professional collection/analysis at the time of freezing should mean higher quality control of semen.
- Increased options - Mare owners have the opportunity to breed with any stallion with semen available, including those who have died, been castrated or are busy competing.
- Global markets - As frozen semen can survive for longer periods of time, it can easily be shipped worldwide, so choice isn’t limited by proximity.

We have a huge range of stallions available frozen at WKS, including Cevin Z, Masterclass, Party Trick, SF Detroit (and many more). Contact us on 01249 782050 or [email protected] to order or for more information.

Hi Everyone!!
I have the judges and special rosettes sorted for 2023 SPARKLE, and just need to finalise the section sponsors so I can get the schedule out!! Fingers crossed I can complete it so I can hand out the completed schedule at the Ridden Show on Sunday 23rd July!!
As in previous years, I need a certain amount of support financially in order to host SPARKLE. I can fund the special and finalist rosettes that every entrant gets, but I need kindly people and businesses to sponsor the section Championships.. Your name, or your business name will be on the sashes to be presented, and you are welcome to present your sponsored sashes in the ring should you wish!
It costs £45 to sponsor either an In Hand or Ridden section at SPARKLE, and everyone gets an invoice to show Mr Taxman so its tax deductable!!

In Hand Sections available are -
Plaited/Non M&M/Coloured Turnout & Condition Championship
In Hand Coloured Championship
In Hand TB/Plaited/Critical/Veteran Championship
Young Hander Championship
M&M Turnout & Condition Championship
M&M Youngstock Championship
In Hand M&M Overall Championship - BJC Equine

Ridden Section Sponsorship Opportunities are -
STARTER Ridden Championship
Plaited Pony Championship
TB/Hunter/Hack/RH/Cob Championship - Newton Rigg Equine
Ridden Rescue/Critical/Veteran Championship
Lead Rein Championship - Appleby Family
First Ridden Championship - Alan Ashcroft
Ridden M&M Championship.

If anyone would like to sponsor any of the Section Championships, pls PM me, and I will sort it out with many Thanks!!
I will do my very best to give people the sections they ask for.
Looking forward to SPARKLE in September, and thank you to everyone who has read this post! Ellen xx
