Ascot 5 Report post Posted June 18, 2018 I have just received this seasons Stallion Register and notice that there are no listings for Westbury Stud. Why? I assume they are still operating but I have been overseas for some months so I am out of touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustyngrizzly 1,682 Report post Posted June 18, 2018 Website mentions 7 stallions.Don't know if they are standing at Westbury,could be at other studs but retain shareholdings in them.Just a guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles 65 Report post Posted June 19, 2018 Westbury still operating. From what I understand some studs are looking more to digital marketing and choose not to advertise in the stallion register. I like the stallion register and always use it as a point of reference but also use the Arion website for current statistics, starters and information.

optical 41 Report post Posted July 20, 2018 Seems a cost cutting exercise. Probably cheaper and more effective to be using digital platforms/ Social media and EDM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Really like the horse but feel quite a few will have to step up as 4 year olds to justify his fee, past and present.

Liz Yes if its a cost decision it seems a very odd one indeed, especially for a stud of that Magnitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles 65 Report post Posted July 22, 2018 I feel that there is a place for both paper print and digital/social media, and agree with Liz that it is a bad decision as their stallions are not there for many breeders to see. Has anyone received a brochure from Westbury in the mail, or are they only trusting on breeders to be subscribe to their social media pages or email list?
