I would like to open the discussion again to graded mares. What are their genetic and practical significance to the overal population? I see from CBHS...
What are their genetic and practical significance to the overal population? I see from CBHS magazines, Miss Marigold Nixey has entered several graded mares...
Kate Great info. I can't see OS breeders very keen to apply for this program with the current rules. The expense of a minimum of two inspectors, application,...
Kate, If we wanted to make a motion to make a change in the rules regarding OS grading mares, how would one do it. FYI, I am going to look into attending the...
Sorry Gabrielle overload today. I forgot to send you Chris' earlier response re fees for grading mares. <Hi Kate I assume you are talking about registered part...
Hi Gabrielle I take your points on board, but do bear in mind there are going to be changes mooted in the UK. I am mindful of the difficulties re inspections...
Hmmm. The correct way to do it is through the CBHSNA representative. They side stepped Gabrielles proposal last year as she is a committee chair. It depends...
I don't understand why if I am a member (which I need to renew) I can not bring a proposal. Are NA members not equal to UK members? Here in the US your...
Hi Kate, As you probably know I have a mare Carolina Polestar, bred by Mary Hardham, I think that she is the only mare by Pacific Swell. I took quite an...
Hi Tracie, If you renew your membership with the Cleveland Bay Horse Society and are then a fully paid up member of the society you can raise any point at an...
Muick, In a perfect world, this would all be true. However until you "walk a mile" in the shoes of an overseas CBHS member, you just cannot fully understand....

Hi Muick I amopologising for my e-mail I am aware that you are doing your best but the Americans have bitter experience of their work being cast aside It is...
Hi Muick, Thanks, that is what I had assumed, but one never knows. I have some questions about transferring ownership. I have emailed Chris twice, with no...
Discussing how to implement rule changes as they relate to the management of the breed is appropriate for this list. The last set of messages have strayed too...
Here is my question again with some extras. ... the overall CB population? Has the Society published any information besides basic "how to apply" explaining...
Hi Gabrielle Since my last post I have talked at length to Sid Emmerson (he would welcome an evening call rom you) and he has headed me towards Dr Ian Gill...
I am also very interested in this topic. I am would really like to know the breed committee's thought on the grade registry mares. I see a real opportunity to...
I think it would be great to increase the genetic health of the breed. Personally, I think there should be some objective criteria to meet for entrance into...
THat got sent before I was finished, but those are my preliminary thoughts. Of course, if progeny of a grade C automatically moves up to grade B, then I...
Kate has this work by Dr Gill and Dr Walling been published? I assume this is following on from the Grant Walling article published by CBHS a few years ago in...
Hi Stephen, I am working on it today and will track it all down It was a trendous find volunteered by Sid. I have a copy deadline to meet four mares to cover...
Hi Carolina I have had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Grant Walling. He is now the research Director of JSC GeneticsLtd. www.jsr.co.uk <http://www.jsr.co.uk> ...
Hey, Stephen! How's your research project coming? Have you had much luck in ascertaining the non-CB contribution in UK partbreds? In a lot of the data I've...
Tracie, For some reason, I'm thinking Grade C mare's offspring do not automatically go into Grade B. I'm thinking that whenever one "upgrades" they must...
From www.clevelandbay.com under rules: THE RULES FOR ENTRY ONTO THE PURE STUD BOOK GRADE REGISTERS 1. INTRODUCTION. In 1997 a new system of grading was...
Carolina I believe this information is out of date. A few years ago the breed committee and/or Council changed the minimum percentage to 75%. 50% or more CB...
