[on hold music] Hello, and welcome to the Thoroughbred Breeders Podcast, brought to you by the Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
At the TBA we are here to support you, to help you learn, to nurture your interest, and to answer any questions you may have as you breed, care for, and maintain your passion for these wonderful animals.
We're also all about growing the fantastic community that exists in Thoroughbred breeding wherever you are in the world.
In each episode, we'll be discussing developments, news, stories, and experiences, and helping you to feel connected to our work and your community.
We'd love to hear from you, and we're at info@thetba.co.uk. Now, on with the show.
It is August, and there are two days in the diary for anybody who is at that level that holds all sorts of fear and trepidation, usually unnecessarily because there are loads of options as to what you can do or those around you can do.
And we thought that given those dates are in the diary, that we would have a little chat to Abi Taylor from the National Stud, who does fantastic work there.
I'll let her introduce herself properly, but, um, the National Stud is such a vital part of the breeding and bloodstock industry.
We work really closely together, the TBA and the National Stud, and we have great relationships between us.
So we thought it'd be a cracking opportunity to get Abi on to talk a little bit about some of the things that are happening there.
Um, do you wanna just tell us a little bit about, for anyone who doesn't know or isn't aware of the National Stud, um, it's fairly obvious, it's quite a roncil name, but, um, where are you? Who are you? What do you do? Who do you cater for? Et cetera, et cetera.
