Dear BWP Members,
The BWP Annual Meeting will be held Saturday January 9th at 9:00am at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Indianapolis. All members are welcome!  If you are interested there is still time to join us.  Please contact Chris Sallee for details.

The BWP would like to wish you All the Best for 2010!
Stallion Auction
It is almost time for the Stallion Service Auction.  It will run from Friday January 15th to Friday February 5th. The second round will run for 2 weeks following the first round.  The annual Stallion Service Auction helps the Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association / North American District underwrite the many programs offered to members, including keuring tours.

The BWP/NAD stallions in the auction are of very high quality, with many of the stallions being successful nationally and internationally.  These stallions are top in the nation for breeding and producing, and have produced offspring that are competing and winning with amateur riders.  Check out the BWP/NAD website for the fantastic line-up of SSA participants.

BWP/NAD Stallions are fully approved in Europe, so their offspring can be registered with any European registry, including KWPN or any North American Registry.

The Auction is a perfect way to get a bargain on a stud fee, while helping the breed association at the same time. We are grateful to the many stallion owners who have donated their services. Proceeds from this auction go directly to the BWP/NAD.

Please contact Nancy Maloney for more information.
Stallion and Breeding Guide

The BWP/NAD 2010 "Stallion & Breeding Guide" will replace the "Directory" and feature all the BWP/NAD Stallions in Full Color for 2010! This new Guide will also feature the BWP/NAD Mares (Elite, Select & E-Label), high score horses from the 2009 Keuring, ads from Stallion Owners featuring their Stallions offspring and breeding programs, ads from BWP/NAD Breeders to promote their breeding operations and sale horses, as well as many other highlights from the BWP/NAD Registry.

This Publication will be distributed to all BWP members, throughout the U.S. at major competitions, in Belgium and will be used for Promotional material at the BWP Booth at the WEG. It's a fantastic opportunity to advertise and reach a tremendous audience at the WEG at very reasonable costs.

Members with a Top 5 horse in a keuring category from the 2009 tour, please send a 300dpi photo to Chris Sallee for inclusion in the Stallion and Breeding Guide.

Members please send in candid and performance shots of your BWP horse(s) for possible inclusion in the Member Photos section of the guide.  Email Chris high resolution photos, and include the horse's name and breeding.  There is no charge if your photo is used, and it's a great way to show off your BWP horse.
