Sport Horse Nationals Payback Program

This program is designed to raise prize money for exhibitors at Sport Horse Nationals, as well as rewarding the top sires. Payback will be 100% payout. Here is how it works:

Stallion owners donate a breeding to the program. These breedings are sold at 50%
of their advertised fee. It is not an auction or a futurity. Breedings are sold on a first-come basis. This money is used as the prize money for the program. Stallions may be purebred Arabians, Anglo-Arabians, Half-Arabians, or non-Arabian as long as the foals are registered with AHA, CAHR or CPAR and eligible to show at Arabian shows.

All foals sired by these stallions will be eligible to win the money. Horses not sired by these stallions are not eligible for the prize money. All foals sired by the donated stallions are eligible of any age.

In order to donate a breeding, the stallion must have won a Class A Championship 0r Reserve, Regional Top Five or better, or a National Top Ten or better-not necessarily in a sport horse discipline.
The stallion is also eligible if he has sired a foal with any of the above listed wins. If the stallion is non-Arabian OR shown at open shows, then he must have won a class or championship at an A rated show (i.e. dressage, H/J, driving, In-Hand) or in an approved Event OR one of their offspring needs a similar accomplishment.

The top two sires from each SHNs will receive 5% each of the total prize money available. All classes will count.

The Champion and Reserve Champion of the designated classes will win prize money. The Payback classes will include both Purebred and HA/AA classes in all disciplines. If the Champion and Reserve are NOT eligible horses, the Top Ten horse(s) will receive the Payback. Any unclaimed prize money from a particular class will be divided equally among eligible horses that go Top Ten or better in that class.

All get of donated stallions will be eligible to win the prize money throughout their life. If the stallion withdraws from the program (by not re-donating each year), then any subsequent foals will be ineligible.
