The Weatherbys Return of Mares will be published on 2nd November and reports a small growth in foal numbers in both Great Britain and Ireland during the 2017 breeding year.
The number of foals registered in Great Britain has grown to 4,674, up 2% from the 2016 figure of 4,597, following increases of 5% and 3% over the previous two years.
After seeing growth of 10% and 7% in 2015 and 2016 respectively, the number of foals registered in Ireland has risen by 3% in 2017 to 9,044, from 8,792 at the same point in 2016.
