Invitation

Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark is pleased to invite you to the 2nd International Knabstrupper Conference 2007.

Date
From Friday the 24th of August 12.00 – Sunday the 26th of August 2007 15.00

Location
Malling Landbrugsskole (DCJ), Starupvej 20, 8340 Malling, Denmark.

Purpose
To inform about the Knabstrupper breed and the law and rules of Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark (KNN), who maintains the studbook of the origin of the breed.
To enhance cooperation and understanding between the various Knabstrupper organisations and breeders worldwide.

Participants
Representatives from other EU recognised organisations with a Knabstrupper studbook. Foreign members of Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark and members of daughter organisations and other interested.

Language
The conference language is English.

Programme
The programme for the conference will among other things include presentations on the history of the Knabstrupper horse and organisations, the standards of the horses, the law and rules of KNN, pure breeding, interbreeding, preservation of bloodlines and genetic resources etc.

Representatives from other EU recognised Knabstrupper studbooks are asked to give a short presentation regarding Knabstrupper breeding in their area, and contributions from participants from other countries are welcome by prior arrangement with the organisers.

On Saturday the participants from the conference will attend KNN’s yearly stallion grading at the National Equine Centre Vilhelmsborg. After the grading participants will meet up with the judges and have a first hand chance of discussing the horses and the event.


Compendium
Papers from the various presentations will be gathered and published in a compendium. Deadline is August 10th unless otherwise agreed with the organisers.

If you represent a daughter organisation or an EU-recognised Knabstrupper Organisation but are prevented from participation, we would be most grateful to receive a contribution to this compendium anyhow. And the same goes for representatives from foreign countries without organised Knabstrupper breeding.

Registration
Participants who wish to attend the conference are requested to fill out a registration form.
Your registration is complete when we have registered your bank payment.

The conference fee includes full board from Friday noon to Sunday afternoon (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and accommodation on Friday and Saturday night at Malling Landbrugsskole. Accommodation is in double rooms (limited single rooms are available on request). Accommodation for Thursday night + breakfast Friday morning is possible.
