PRESS RELEASE

The Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders Association will again be offering a scholarship for a young employee of the Hunter Valley thoroughbred industry to further their education by attending the Irish National Stud and participating in their six-month Thoroughbred Breeding Course. This course is world renown for the quality of the lectures and many of the students who have completed this course are leaders in the industry today.

The scholarship is aimed at providing international experience and expanding the knowledge of the staff employed by member studs of the Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders Association that will ultimately be to the benefit of the industry within the area.

The HTBA is currently calling for applicants from within the Hunter who are aged from 18 to 25 years and who wish to take advantage of a great opportunity to broaden their horizons. They would travel to Ireland for the next six months with HTBA to pay return airfares and fees to attend the course. They are seeking an individual who will be an excellent ambassador for the Hunter thoroughbred industry.

Interested parties should contact Antony Thompson on (02) 6547 0507 for an application form.
