If, like me, you’ve been waiting for an excuse to visit Denmark - here it is!
Following the success of the Connect, Select & Grow event at the Agria Oslo Horse Show in Norway last October, three proactive Danish breeders approached myself and Emma Thorén Hellsten to explore the possibility of bringing a similar initiative to Denmark.
