Guardian of the Thoroughbred

EFTBA, the European Federation of Thoroughbred Breeders’ Associations, was set up in 1994 to enable European breeders’ associations to be represented at a European level with a strong single voice.

EFTBA represents the majority of European Thoroughbred breeding countries, and welcomes countries currently outside the European Union.
