SIRE & DAM LIST

The list of participating stallions is updated daily on the NRHA website. NRHA Sire & Dam Program contracts are sold on a first come, first serve basis. To make a purchase, simply send either a check or wire transfer to the NRHA office noting which stallion you would like to purchase. Please call the office for wire transfer information. Credit card transactions will incur a 3.5% processing fee.

It is the mare owner’s responsibility to pay any other fees associated with the breeding. The NRHA strongly suggests that mare owners contact participating stallion owners/agents to inquire about such fees prior to purchasing the breeding through the NRHA Sire & Dam Program.

Online Auction:
You have the opportunity to purchase NRHA Sire & Dam Program breedings through an online auction from November 15 - December 5. Stallions participation in the Top 20 Sires Program will be available in the auction along with any other stallion whose owner chooses to join the auction.

Stallions not enrolled in the auction will be sold on a first come, first serve basis for 60% of their 2010 advertised breeding fee. These breedings will be available beginning October 2. Stallions not sold during the auction will be placed on the available list following verification of the auction results.

TO DONATE A BREEDING

Contact the NRHA office for a breeding contract or print a copy from the link below. Complete the contract and send it to the NRHA office. Breeding contracts can either be donated as “open” contracts to be sold to the first person to send payment; the stallion owner can designate the purchaser on the contract or repurchase breeding by sending payment with contract. When the breeding is sold, a copy is distributed to the mare owner as receipt of purchase and to the stallion owner showing who purchased the breeding. The original is maintained in the Sire & Dam Program files.

Stallion owners receive free promotion through distribution of NRHA material at different horse events, and on the NRHA website. In addition, stallion owners are eligible to receive NRHA Sire & Dam Program awards, provided applicable conditions are met.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY

"I've been involved with the Sire & Dam Program since its inception. In the early years, the Program was a real lifesaver for the NRHA. From the beginning until the present, it has been an asset to the industry. Unlike other programs, it has always worked."

-Bob Loomis

"In my opinion the Sire & Dam Program is one of the best offered. It didn't cost me any out of pocket money to participate. It was such a thrill when the NRHA Sire & Dam Program presented me with a check for more than $33,000 for owning the sire of the 2001 NRHA Open Futurity Champion. I felt as though I had just won the Futurity myself . . . I wish more of the breeding programs would reward donating stallion owners."

-Sue Hearst

"The NRHA Sire & Dam Program is the greatest thing going. It's cost effective and benefits everyone involved. From a mare owner's point of view, the money we save for the resulting foal is worth its weight in gold. It's the only deal in town!"

-Clint Haverty

PROGRAM AWARDS

If your donated breeding sells prior to the start of the donation year’s NRHA Futurity, your stallion will be eligible for Sire Awards at that year’s Futurity. Your stallion wins these awards if any of his three-year-olds finish in the top three of the NRHA Open and/or Non Pro Futurity among Sire Award eligible sires. The following three years could earn him NRHA Derby Sire Awards. Stallions having four, five and/or six-year-olds that finish in the top three among Sire Award eligible sires of the Open, Intermediate Open, and/or Non Pro Derby, are eligible for Derby Sire Awards.
