A mare performance test can help a mare that has suffered in her scores at Inspection to improve her status, or can take a really top mare to the next level, even Elite.
Open to mares that have passed their inspection and are at least five years of age.
This test lasts 14 days, and in the spirit of realism we ask that your mare not compete during that time.
