Stallion owners are encouraged to participate in this program by donating one breeding to be sold to mare owners.  Mare owners may purchase breeding for one half of the advertised stud fee plus $100 administrative fee.

All donated breedings will go on sale October 1 of each year.  Purchase of breedings will be posted by NSBA on a first received, first sold basis. The minimum cost to purchase a breeding is $400 ($300 plus $100).  Minimum fee for stallions standing at private treaty or not at all to the public is 1/2 of the highest paid stud fee for the calendar year or $600 (plus $100), whichever is greater.  The mare owner must be a current NSBA member to purchase a stallion breeding.

The stud fees collected are placed in a special fund to be distributed later in the program year.  The stud fees, less administrative fees, are paid out each year in Stallion Incentive Fund classes and License Program.
