Background
For many years it was common to have a stallion service auction for every club, every year. These programs were popular with both the stallion owner and foal owner. With the downturn in the economy, mare owners are choosing not to breed as many of their mares. Stallion owners are still being asked to donate breedings thereby taking money out of their pockets and resulting in fewer paid breedings per year. Other regional clubs have changed their programs and asked the stallion owner to donate up to $250 per year to make their foal crop eligible. Both ideas are reliant on the stallion owner to make the most financial contribution.

Mission of the Program
To enable stallion owners to utilize a marketing program for their stallions and foals while maintaining paid breeding numbers.
