We’ve got great news for stallion owners: the 2016 Breeders’ Trust stallion subscription deadline has been extended to September 30. If you’ve been on the fence about subscribing your stallion to the Breeders’ Trust—which pays you CASH for points earned by your stallion’s offspring and provides extra incentives for foal owners—now’s a great time to take advantage of this special offer. Last year, Breeders’ Trust payouts increased for the first time since 2008, so you won’t want to miss out on money-earning opportunities for your foals (and yourself!) this year.

Now until September 30, 2016, stallions can be subscribed to the Breeders’ Trust for 1.5 times their highest advertised stud fee—if your stallion’s stud fee is $600, for example, the subscription fee would be $900. Subscribing your stallion to the Breeders’ Trust makes all of his 2017 foals eligible for Breeders’ Trust nomination, giving them opportunity to earn cash back for APHA points earned in most Open and Amateur events and access to APHA’s lucrative Breeders’ Futurity events.

Subscription fees increase as the year goes on, so it’s more cost-effective to subscribe now. Between October 1 and December 31 of the breeding year, the subscription fee is double the highest advertised stud fee. After the breeding year, the fee is 2.5 times the highest advertised stud fee or $1,500—whichever is greater.

Take advantage of this limited time offer to give your stallion one more way to stand out from the crowd in a program that PAYS you for playing. Remember, the stallion subscriber earns 20 percent of nominated foals’ point-earning value every year; the foal owner takes home 70 percent of the earnings, and the foal nominator receives 10 percent.

To enroll your stallion or for more information about the Breeders’ Trust program, contact Director of Breeders’ Trust/Breeders’ Futurity Candy Jebavy at (817) 222-6441 or cjebavy@apha.com. Forms are also available at apha.com/programs/breederstrust.
