Hello and welcome to the updated website of the United Kingdom Knabstrupper Association.

The Board of the UKA felt that the time had come to make a few changes and we hope that it makes your surfing experience more enjoyable and that you will return at regular intervals to catch up on all our Knabstrupper news.

Please let us know what you think of our changes, we would love to hear from you if you have an interest in this rare and lovely breed whether you are a member of the UKA or not.

We are working hard to organise some special Knabstrupper events in 2008 so do check back regularly to our “Events” page to catch all the latest news and information.

Hopefully we will get the chance to meet more of our members and other Knabstrupper supporters at these events throughout the year so please show your support for us and the Knabstrupper horse by making sure that they are well attended. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

If you organise a show or event and you would like to run a Knabstrupper class then do please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss arrangements with you. All board members details are on our Contacts page and any one of us would be very happy to help.

Don’t forget to write to us and let us know what you are doing with your horses, it’s always good to hear your news,
