welcomeAll shows hosted by the Riata Thoroughbred Registry are held at Phoenician Stud.The mission of the RTR is to provide one of the most popular breeds in Riata, the Thoroughbred, a place to compete against each other and to earn a reputation for itself against its' peers. The registry's main functions include monthly shows for sporting thoroughbreds and annual or bi-annual gradings, and RTR accepts both pure and half thoroughbreds. The RTR holds monthly shows to enable the Thoroughbreds in Riata to test themselves against others of the same breed. Point's will be tabulated throughout the year to determine year end awards. Inspections are held either annually or bi-annually, depending on the amount of interest provided. This is an excellent opportunity for owners to grade their horses for entry into the studbook. Since the rejuvination of the RTR in December 2007, where it had previously been inactive for sveral months, many new plans have been made to make the RTR bigger, better, and caters more to the Thoroughbred population and the owners. New features looking to be implemented are an annual newsletter featuring a horse and owner, RTR news etc. Also, the plans for a classified studbook for both breeding mares and stallions are underway, in the hopes that the Thoroughbred community will have easy and convinient acces to the TB breeding aspect of Riata. If you have any questions, suggestions, or input regarding the registry, please feel free to email us at rtr@riata-online.net. We welcome and value all opinions of our members, and wish to cater to you all to the best of our abilities. |
