"Our organisation continues to grow and strengthen as we welcome new members and achieve important milestones in our unwavering commitment to supporting the recognition of our breeders, the longevity of the sport and most importantly the welfare of our horses. As we celebrate the world's top breeders in dressage, showjumping and eventing, yet again we find that it is the small breeders, focused on producing the very best quality from just a handful of mares, that are the backbone of our community and the custodians of our future. Our gratitude and admiration goes to everyone who is making a commitment to the continuation of our sport. I wish you all a joyful festive season and much success and happiness in the New Year".
