I love discovering setups for particular facets of the equine industry. This one specifically relates to bloodstock agents within Australia. It is known as the Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia Limited or the FBAA. Their Twitter tagline is:
“Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia was formed to maintain, improve & develop the standards, status & services of Bloodstock Agents throughout Australia”
On their site they detail the industry code of conduct, which is also downloadable as a pdf file.
Resources are provided in the form of links to the principal racing authorities in each state of Australia, industry bodies relating to racing, horses and breeding as well as race clubs. These are also for each state of Australia.
It was back in 1988 that the Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia Limited was formed. This was created to “improve and develop standards, status and services of Bloodstock Agents throughout Australia…” It was also created to put across and promote the views of the members of the FBAA.
The 27 accredited members can:
- provide aid in selling and purchasing bloodstock
- help with valuations of bloodstock
- consult and manage
- provide matings advice
- help with insurance, shipping and other matters relating to bloodstock
Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia Limited
This setup is a great point of contact for people who need advice relating to thoroughbred racing and breeding setups. If you want to become a member of the FBAA, you need to have at least 5 years industry involvement and 2 years operating a bloodstock agency. If this is a field you’re in or plan to be a part of in the future, be sure to make a note of the FBAA.
“When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.” ― William Shakespeare
