Part Breeds
The CBHS is not just about pure bred horses.
There are hundreds of part bred Cleveland bays participating in all manner of equine disciplines and the Society has in place Performance Schemes to support those horses and riders at all levels of ability both in hand and under saddle.
If you have a part bred Cleveland Bay we would love to hear from you.
In the 1970’s the CBHS created a register to recognise the influence of the part bred on the breed and this has now become the basis for the Passports that are issued in accordance with UK Legislation.
The CBHS also inspects and licences all Part Bred Cleveland Bay Stallions that are listed by the Society on its current stallion list (Link to Stallion List.)
Part Bred Cleveland Bays have risen to the highest levels in Show jumping and in Dressage notably the International Grand Prix Dressage Arun Tor who was ridden by Ferdi Eilberg.
The Society also provides rosettes at many shows for the highest placed Cleveland Bays in non Cleveland specific classes.
If you would like details of the CBHS Performance Scheme please contact Sue Bulmer on 01287 637758.
Pure Bred Cleveland Bays
