SPSS EVENTS - ENTRY FORMS

Short cuts to key information and entry forms for SPSS events once available.  Before then the reports from previous events can be found here.

 

There will be a blended approach to SPSS Gradings in 2023. We anticipate running a few of our own events in August offering full in-person stallion & mare gradings and youngstock evaluations (COVID/other restrictions permitting) and will also, like last year, hopefully work with the AES to offer additional opportunities at their events. There is also the option to do  virtual Mare eGradings via video footage over the summer.
