Breeders Village


Breeders Village

EQUITANA Asia Pacific is proud to present a
new concept at the 2008 event,
‘Breeders Village’

The ‘Breeders Village’ is a unique opportunity for Breeders, Stud Books and Breed Associations to have a direct interface with the public and showcase their stallions and off spring to promote the breed. Stud books and Breed Associations will be invited to participate in breed displays and a daily parade, which we anticipated to be a highlight during the event.

This featured area offers the public the opportunity to learn about particular breeds and talk to experts about all the aspects of breeding and raising young horses.

“Breeders Village” – Benefits

  • Exposure to over 60,000 people over four days
  • Strategic positioning of breeders and their stock
  • Potential to build breed awareness
  • Ability to present a visual demonstration of their breed
  • Opportunity to build relationships with potential buyers or breeders
  • Interact with supporting breeders or associations within the village

“Breeders Village” Exhibitors

As an exhibitor in the ‘Breeders Village’ your stand will include; 2 stalls (3.6m x 3.6m)

  • 1 stall will be set up as a enclosed stable to house a horse
  • 1 stall will be set up as a presentation stand including a power source

This is a unique opportunity for Breeders, Stud Books and Breed Associations to exhibit in an exclusive area. As it is an introductory offer for this year, this offer is of great value for those who want to enter into the exhibitor world of EQUITANA. In a normal situation, stud advertising alone would cost more!

Quarter ponies excel in many fields including reigning, cutting, bulldogging, steer wrestling, pony club and novelties.
