Burlington Bertie, the grass sickness recovery case from Suffolk who featured in the last Equine News, will attend the National Stud Fair, Newmarket which takes place on 8/9/10 July 2003.

Bertie will parade once each day in the main arena and will welcome visitors to his box, next to the EGSF stand, during the 3 days. Bertie’s owner Denise Hewett reports that he is very well and came 2nd from an entry of 27 in a recent dressage competition. Baileys Horse Feeds have generously sponsored a beautiful rug for Bertie to wear.

The Fair, which coincides with racing at Newmarket and the Tattersalls Sales, has an exciting programme covering all aspects of equestrianism. Main ring attractions include Stallion Parades, the Household Cavalry’s Musical Ride, a charity polo match, rare breeds, a parade of horse drawn carriages and Katie Cropper’s Sheepdog Display.

Information about grass sickness will be available from the EGSF stand along with two new Christmas cards for 2003 and a selection of useful gifts. Please come along and support us.
