Suffolk Horse Society

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The Trustees who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS I 02) (effective I January2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The Charities Act 2011 sets out an explicit requirement for all charities to have purposes which are for public benefit. Reporting on that benefit became a requirement from 31 March 2009. In response to Section 4 of the Act requiring charity trustees to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and being aware that the Society must report the activities undertaken to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit the Trustees are satisfied that the charity's objectives are in accordance with the principles of public benefit and that the activities undertaken by the Society during 2022 are in pursuance of those objectives.

Objective: To preserve and promote the breed known as the Suffolk Horse (commonly known as The Suffolk Punch) encouraging ownership and long-term interest in the breed. The Suffolk breed of heavy horse is a livestock animal indigenous to the United Kingdom that has been developed and refmed over many generations through careful selection to possess a set of specific inherited characteristics. It is recognised as classified as a Priority Breed on the current RBST Watchlist. However, the Suffolk horse as a breed remains critically endangered. The continuity and prevention from extinction of the Suffolk as a breed conforms to the frst principle of public benefit, that the benefit must be identifiable,[i] because not only is the Suffolk a manifestation of a rural cultural heritage but also it constitutes a genetic reservoir and as such is included in the DEFRA conservation strategy for UK Farm Animal Genetic Resources.

The system of stallion licensing, which the Society has maintained since the cessation of the (former) Ministry of Agriculture scheme, continued. In 2013 a new methodology whereby the veterinary assessment and Society inspection were conducted at the same time was introduced. This proved effective so was continued in 2022. Three colts were examined during the year. Of these, two were licensed.

During 2022 applications for grant funding were received from 67 Suffolk horse owners. In 2022 an encouraging number of coverings were reported which it is hoped will result in a pleasing number of foals in 2023. The demand for Suffolk horses continues to increase, and not just for breeding purposes, therefore geldings are being sold as rapidly as mares and stallions.

The Trustees are extremely grateful to the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) for the annual grant which it pays to the Society to be used for the preservation and promotion of the Suffolk breed of heavy horse. In 2022 the Society received £25,000 from the HBLB, £5,000 from Felix Cobbold Trust and £3,000 from the Chadacre Trust which have been used to pay grants to stallion and mare owners in the following categories: stallion and mare health, blood sampling, travelling mares and stallions for the purpose of breeding, stallion licensing, foal registration and promotion of the Suffolk horse breed. The Society augments the HBLB grants by twenty percent from its own resources.

The Society owns semen stocks from 18 stallions and plans on collecting more semen in 2023. At least 20% of all semen stocks will not be sold and will be kept in storage to help the diversity of blood lines in the future. The trustees have decided not to value Semen stocks in the accounts as it is unknown which semen stock have a[n] y value. Any semen purchased from the Society must have permission from the Chairman oftbe Suffolk Horse Society, the Chairman of the Scientific Committee and the Chairman of the Stud Book and Grants Committee. The SPARKS reports will be used to determine the blood lines of the breeding and semen will be released only for a green mating unless under significant circumstances.

The Society continues to work with Suffolk horse owners to support and encourage more breeding in 2023.

Objective: To collect, verify, preserve and publish pedigrees of the said breed, and other useful information relating thereto. Objective achieved in 2021 by the publication of Volume 97 of the Stud Book, the issuing of equine passports in compliance with UK and EU legislation, and by the gathering of information and registration of animals eligible to appear in Volume 97. Publication has continued in an uninterrupted sequence since Volume I produced in 1880. The integrity of the breed is maintained through meticulous record keeping and careful management of the Stud Book which complies with Commission Decision 96/78/EC laying down the criteria for the entry of animals into equine stud books with the objective of harmonising stud books in European Union countries to enhance the trade in pedigree animals. The Society continued as a passport issuing organisation during the year and participated in focus group work.

Suffolk Horse Society

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The statistics relating to the population of Suffolk horses in the UK in 2022 are set out below. Those relating to foals registered and stallions licensed are known to be correct, but the other population statistics are dependent upon owners notifying tbe Society's office of horses which have died and male horses which have been castrated. The accuracy of these statistics has undoubtedly improved as a result of horse owners being reminded, repeatedly, that it is their legal responsibility to report deaths and castrations to the Society. This would account for the fall in total numbers and this figure may still be somewhat overstated.

Stallions licensed and listed in 2022	23
Breeding Mares	96
Non breeding mares & geldings Registered Foals born in 2022	330
Fillies	19
Colts	18
Total UK Population	486

Objective: To promote the general interests of members of the Society in connection with the breeding and ownership of Suffolk horses. Objective achieved in 2022 by provision of information and broader education about the breed at all levels through publication of two full-colour magazines and a six-page supplement. The Society attended a number of shows around the country to promote the Suffolk horse and at the end of2022 purchased a van which has been wrapped with pictures of working Suffolks that will attend a large number of shows in 2023 to promote the breed and encourage the increase membership subscriptions to the society.

Objective: To offer prizes or premiums or grants for Suffolk horses." ln 2022 The Society paid out£ I 820 .00 in grants and from the Foal & Youngstock Show, the Young Handlers Affiliated Shows.

Objective: To raise and manage funds, and generally to do all such lawful things which may be incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objectives. The Society increased its number of memberships in 2022 whilst attending events to promote the Suffolk horse. Although donations are still down in 2022, legacies have increased.

In 2023 the Society hopes to do more fund raising by putting on events, attending shows and by selling more merchandise. The Society is fortunate to receive regular donations from members and supporters but is hoping to encourage more to sign up to Gift Aid to help increase donations in 2023.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Society's financial position strengthened further during 2022 due largely to a legacy received from the estate of MH Aggar deceased. In addition, significant grants and donations were received for breeding and semen collection purposes. The society has funds available for investments in projects and activities designed to strengthen the Society and increase its capacity to fulfil its charitable objectives and to safeguard the future of the Suffolk horse. The net assets of the Society increased by £23,553 , which was lower than hoped for because of the reduction of 11 % in the market value of our investments and the trustee's decision to not continue to value semen stocks in the Balance Sheet. World events have impacted the value of most investments and the trustees having reviewed our investments during the year and are content with the holdings currently held.

The Society's reserves policy is to maintain financial reserves in excess of two years' running costs of the Society.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

STAFF

The Society in 2022 continues to operate with two part time staff, Mrs Jessica Ellis and Mrs Belinda Rudderham, The combined hours of the staff is 53 hours a week.

The website is regularly updated with all infonnation that Suffolk Horse Society members and owners need. The Grassroots database system has been looked at closely and all memberships have now been updated or chased. The membership system is fully operational to members to look and change details for themselves and the office staff are able to produce accurate reports as and when required.

The telephone system was amended in 2022 and has three phone lines to call in and a process whereby messages can be left out of office hours or a trustee can be contacted directly with urgent queries.

FUTURE PLANS

The Society will continue to raise the public profile of the Society with the objective of significantly increasing the Society's membership and of encouraging more people to own and breed Suffolk horses. The purchase of the Suffolk Horse Society van will help with this as it will give staff accommodation and facilities to attend shows all over the country for more than one day at a time.

New grants have been added for 2023 to include embryo transfer and to help with costs associated with the transportation of semen to mare owners. Grants in 2023 are also using SPARKS to pay out depending on mating and to encourage diversity as wide as possible, by monitoring mean kinship.

Progress is still being made, but there are still more people who need to be persuaded to become members of the Society to give their support to the breed even though they may not own a Suffolk horse. The Society's website contains infonnation about horses which are for sale and details of people seeking a horse to buy. The Society will continue to promote newer uses for Suffolk horses including riding and private driving. The aim is to create a growing demand for Suffolk horses which will, in turn, encourage more mare owners to breed from their animals.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The Suffolk Horse Society is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 27 October 1891 (registration number 35060) and registered as a charity on 7 January 1964 (charity number 220756). The principal activity of the charitable company continues to be a charity whose purpose is to preserve and promote the Suffolk horse breed. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association as originally defined and as subsequently amended by Special Resolutions filed with Companies House.

In 2022 a working party of trustees has reviewed and updated the Articles of Association using the model recommended by the Charity Commission. The updated Articles of Association will be put to the membership for approval at the 2023 AGM.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Trustees who have served during the year are set out on page six. The Society is governed by its Trustees who are elected to the governing Council from the membership at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and serve for a period of four years, after which period they may put themselves forward for re-election. All Council and Committee members are volunteers and receive no remuneration in respect of their services. Any paid-up member of the Society who is willing to serve and to attend meetings and who wishes to stand for election to the Council may put forward in writing his or her name, which must be supported in writing by two members. The AGM in 2022 was conducted in person and via zoom. Ten members applied to be a Trustee and a ballot paper was sent out to all paid up members. The count was undertaken by Ensors LLP Chartered Accountants. At the council meeting the six members with the highest number of votes were elected.

At the AGM in 2021 it was decided to split the Breeding Committee into four smaller committees. The Marketing Committee, the Studbook and Grants Committee, the Shows and Events Committee, and the Scientific Committee. The Council meetings have been increased to six meetings a year and the Sub Committees meet six times a year. This has continued to work well in 2022.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022

Impairment of fixed assets

A review of indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and consequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from Corporation Tax on its charitable activities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SUFFOLK HORSE SOCIETY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Suffolk Horse Society (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purpose of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’) and the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:

• i. the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

• ii. the financial statements did not accord with those accounting records; or

• iii. the financial statements did not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

• iv. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
