2025 TBA Stud Employee Award nominations open

 Nominations for this year’s TBA Stud Employee Award are now open. Generously sponsored by New England Stud, the annual award is presented at the TBA Flat Breeders’ Awards Evening, which will take place on Wednesday, 9 July at Chippenham Park. 

The award recognises the significant contribution that stud employees on Flat and NH stud farms make to the thoroughbred breeding industry and rewards those individuals who have shown dedication and excellence within their roles.

The award winner will be selected from six shortlisted candidates and receives the perpetual Charlie Langton bronze trophy and a £2,000 cash prize. The remaining five shortlisted nominees will each receive a certificate and £250, in recognition of their achievement.

Nominations can be submitted by an employer, colleague or client, by filling in the form online by clicking here, or by downloading a form here and returning it to us. The full Terms and Conditions along with further information about the award can also be found on this dedicated page. Any completed paper forms should be sent to the TBA office or emailed to Melissa Rose ([email protected]).

Alternatively, a voice note/text can be sent via Whatsapp to 01638 661321. This needs to detail name and contact details of the nominator, the nominees name and employers name, as well as the reasons why they are being nominated for the award.

Nominations will close on Monday 12 May, after which the judging process will commence. 

Last year, Carla Bowers, who works for David and Caroline Brocklehurst at their Charlock Stud at Abthorpe, near Towcester collected the prize.
