Unlock over £400 of expert support by completing your baseline Carbon Footprint
The TBA Stud Farm Carbon Calculator is a practical business tool designed to help breeders understand their current carbon footprint, identify inefficiencies, and model future scenarios that reduce environmental impact while improving cost efficiency.
To support breeders in taking this first step, the TBA is offering a limited number of bespoke soil and herbage support packages worth over £400 to those who complete a baseline footprint using the TBA Stud Farm Carbon Calculator.
This new incentive is designed to help breeders move from measurement to meaningful action. Understanding your carbon footprint is the foundation of effective environmental management, while soil and herbage analysis plays a critical role in:
- Optimising soil and grass health
- Supporting the development of thoroughbreds
- Managing input costs more effectively
- Protecting and enhancing the environment
What’s Included – Supporting Soil and Herbage Analysis Package (Value £400+)
Breeders who complete a baseline footprint can unlock a fully funded support package including:
- 3 × soil samples
- 3 × herbage samples
- Two bespoke 30-minute consultancy sessions, including:
- One consultation before sampling to guide approach
- One consultation after results to interpret findings and develop a practical action plan
Limited Availability
Packages are limited to TBA members and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
👉 Deadline to register interest: 28 February 2026

Member Experience
TBA Member Frank Smith, Gallus Stud, who has already benefitted from the Carbon Calculator said:
“The calculator is an affordable efficiency tool. As a business, we can baseline our emissions and then start a carbon reduction plan. Emissions equate to energy use — and if you are saving energy, you are saving money. On top of that, you are improving the sustainability of your business by becoming more efficient.”
