    Comprehensive Classification

    Our classification process ensures that horses meet standards of soundness, conformation, and temperament, aligning with our Standard of Excellence.

  • A horse with a red and white ribbon around its neck standing next to four men in suits, some wearing cowboy hats, at a grassy horse racing track. One man holds a trophy, and another holds an orange bucket. In the background, there are grandstands with spectators and a clear blue sky.
