The aim of the Foal Championship is to identify, evaluate, and reward breeders who have bred a foal that has the potential to be competitive at the highest level in the disciplines of Show Jumping or Eventing. These classes are for performance potential, foals will be presented in front of the judges and judged on their conformation and movement and scored out of 100. Foals must be registered in DAFM or WBFSH studbook and must be registered and microchipped for the final.
