Valoration Trip - October 2010

Dear PRE Owner/Breeder
We will be conducting a Valoration in early/mid October this year for all horses you wish to present for breeding approval with ANCCE, Spain.

To be eligible, horses must:

• have already been inscribed and hold a passport with ANCCE;
• be at least 3 years of age in October;
• Stallions to measure 152cm, and mares 150cm, at the wither;
• No broken crests;
• Not monorchid or cryptorchid in stallions - two testicles must be present and visible.

We are now taking applications for valorations for this trip. These are required as a matter of priority so that we can organise flights and locations for the visit. Please forward your application by the end of August, or by prior arrangement with me.

Please fill out the attached International Application for Service form at the top of the form. At section B, please input the horse's name, and their Spanish codigo which appears on their passport. Don't forget to sign at the bottom left hand side of the form. If you are confused with how to find their codigo, don't worry - I can find this information for you!

The fee this year has been reduced to $350 per horse. Horses will need to travel to a central location, but all breeder's situations will be taken into account when we organise the viewing locations.

Please forward the completed form, and a cheque made out to PREAA, to PO Box 272, Eaglehawk, Vic 3556 as soon as possible.

It is important that we conduct a valoration trip each year, and we do this in conjunction with New Zealand.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards
Catherine Nicholls
