ACE ASSESSMENT TOUR – 2023

We had the pleasure of having the ACE Assessment Tour team visit Finch Farm last week to assess our current crop of home bred foals. For those unfamiliar with the process, each foal is marked on a range of factors focusing on the movement and confirmation of the horse. The assessment is performed by the Internationally respected assessor selected by the Australian Continental Equestrian Group Inc. To read more about the organisation and what they do, click here:

ACE Group Inc. – Achieving Your Dreams

This year, we had the pleasure of meeting Jens Wehrmann, who took the time to travel from Germany to tour and assess our Australian horses. A huge thank you to Jens, Ingrid and Jan – it was an incredibly hot and humid day and your patience and dedication didn’t go unnoticed.

We showcased 18 foals. Of the foals presented, 9 received a level of Elite (80% and over and the highest award achievable) and 7 foals awarded a ‘Premium’ result with scores between 78% to 79.9%.

We had some incredible feedback on our breeding program as a whole, which is extremely exciting for the future of our Finch Farm progeny. For any enquiries on the following foals, please contact David on 0412 147 838.
