2024 TBA Stud Employee Award nominations open

Nominations for this year’s TBA Stud Employee Award are now open. Generously sponsored by New England Stud, the annual award is presented at the Flat Breeders’ Awards Evening, which will take place on Wednesday, 10 July at Chippenham Park. 

The award recognises the significant contribution that stud employees on Flat and NH stud farms make to the thoroughbred breeding industry and rewards those individuals who have shown dedication and excellence within their roles.

Nominations can be submitted by an employer, colleague or client, by filling in the form here, or by downloading the form here, where the Terms & Conditions and further information about the award can also be found. Any completed paper forms should be sent to the TBA office or e-mailed to Melissa Rose ([email protected]).

Alternatively, a voice note/text can be sent via Whatsapp to 01638 661321. This needs to detail name and contact details of the nominator, the nominees name and employers name, as well as the reasons why they are being nominated for the award.

Nominations will close on Friday, 3 May, after which the judging process will commence. 

The award winner will be selected from six shortlisted candidates and receives the perpetual Charlie Langton bronze trophy and a £2,000 cash prize. The remaining five shortlisted nominees will receive a certificate and £250 each, in recognition of their achievement.

Last year the winning recipient was Bev Woodley of Chasemore Farm (pictured below).
