Kentucky Quarter Horse Association Will Award
Nearly $370,000
"The Sun shines bright on
my old Kentucky Home." is a familiar lyric from
the state song of Kentucky. A new $368,000
incentive from the Kentucky Quarter Horse
Association may find American Quarter Horse
owners singing a new version of the familiar
song- "The Sun shines bright on my NEW Kentucky
Home."
Though Kentucky
is best known for its Thoroughbred industry, the
state is home to more American Quarter Horses
than Thoroughbreds. The Kentucky Quarter
Horse Association's new Breeder's Incentive Fund
will most certainly help to continue that trend.
Since the announcement of the $368,000 incentive
program, numerous stallions have relocated to
Kentucky. The following list contains
farms and stallions that have recently moved to
Kentucky.
The funds for the
breeder incentive programs in Kentucky comes
from a sales tax which is paid on stud fees.
Approximately $1,000,000 is allocated annually
to non-racing breeds. A $368,000
distribution was approved by the Kentucky Horse
Racing Authority on April 16, 2007.
The KyQHA board
of directors created a program that will focus
on boosting demand for Kentucky-bred Quarter
Horses rather than creating an increased supply
of horses. Eligible horses must meet the
following criteria: the foal must have
been born in Kentucky during 2002 or later, the
foal must have been conceived in Kentucky, the
sire on the registration papers must have stood
the entire year solely in Kentucky in the year
that the conception occurred.
