“The
Australian Flood Appeal is now closed, having raised a grand total of £834.05
to help Australian Caspian breeders affected by the floods to feed their stock
. Our grateful thanks go to all those
generous members from the many Caspian societies and to friends of the Caspian who
gave money for this worthwhile cause.
The money has now been divided and sent to the two breeders affected by
the floods.

Profile of Jane Holderness-Roddam LVO CBE - President of the Caspian Horse Society
Jane
Holderness-Roddam achieved sporting fame in 1968 by winning Badminton
on her horse Our Nobby, which was followed by her selection for the
Olympics in Mexico the same year. There she became the first British
woman to compete in the Olympic three-day event and won a team gold
medal. She has since ridden, judged, instructed and competed in many
countries around the world, and made a major contribution to equestrian
sport and to the promotion of related education and training- including
that concerned with the welfare of horses and ponies. She has written
many books and articles; assisted in the making of films; and lectured
at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. She is a British
Eventing Steward and an accredited trainer.
Jane and her
husband Tim run West Kington Stud farm, which specialises in horse
breeding and the production of semen from top stallions for freezing.
West Kington is also home to a Caspian brood mare Runnymede Topaz (by
kind permission of Dr Rosemary Harris).
