Big Barn ALBC ExhibitThe Big Barn exhibit ran all day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 20-22 June 2003. Visitors were able to explore live breed displays and information tables, and talk with breeders, rare breed conservationists and clinicians, judges and historians. The exhibitors were wonderfully helpful and many new friends were made for the breeds on display. |

ALBC Rare Breed Clinics: Hall of Champions Pavilion
Each topic took approximately one hour followed by audience opportunity for questions. The evening clinics were enlivened by equine models: Sarah Selby's mare in particular (Exmoor, left) was very vocal indeed!
