Awards

Celebrating British bred success and rewarding British breeders is integral to supporting the future of the thoroughbred. The TBA’s range of awards, both Flat and Jump, recognise success at all levels from small breeders with one mare through to multi-national operations.

Awards to recognise people’s contribution to the industry are also awarded annually including the prestigious lifetime achievement award the Andrew Devonshire Bronze, the highly respected Dominion Bronze and the vitally important TBA Stud Employee Award.
