The registration deadline for this year’s Standardbred Pedigree Camp is fast approaching. May 15 is the
due date for signing up for this year’s event, which will be held at The Inn On The Hill in Charlottetown and is slated for the second weekend in June.
The Pedigree Camp begins Friday, June 12 with an afternoon opening session on pedigree basics, open to the general public, at the Inn On The Hill. The agenda also includes weekend sessions on stallion and broodmare selection, and yearling evaluation.
Norman Hall of Pedigree Matching and the Globetrotter pedigree program will host the sessions. Dr. Paul Spears of Hanover Shoe Farms will return as a guest speaker. This year there will be an additional session on yearling conformation with veterinarians Dr. Doug Hutchins from Maine and Dr. Robert Hutchinson of Ohio participating.
Already signed up for this year are several returnees from previous pedigree camps. Island breeders will also be in attendance, as a number of seminar seats will again be sponsored at a reduced rate by the PEI Colt Stakes. Early registration is recommended due to the limited number of seats available.
There will also be time for play including a visit to the races at the Charlottetown Driving Park, a traditional Island Lobster dinner, an afternoon tour to the matinee races at Pinette, Island breeding farms, and all the delights offered by the Garden Of The Gulf, PEI.
Proceeds from registrations are used to support the Island Breeder’s resource centre in Charlottetown.
