17th February 2009BHA Stud and Stable Staff AwardsWe are thrilled that a member of out team, Deborah Dodd was a runner up in the Stud catergory of the BHA Stud and Stable Staff Awards. We nominated Deborah because of her hard work and dedication with all the foaling mares and mares and foals.
Last year she hand raised an orphan foal whilst in the thick of the stud season and even came home early from her well earned holiday to make sure the foal was loaded up safely and to say goodbye when the foal went home.
Well Done Deborah!
