The Sport Horse Nationals Payback Program 2009 is proving to be just the ticket for breeders again in 2009. With deep discounts on the stud fees of almost 300 stallions of all breeds, Payback is the “go to” resource in today’s economic climate.

Included in the offered stallion services are world class Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Anglo-Arabians, Saddlebreds, Welsh, Friesians, Hackneys, Quarter Horses and others. Many are national or world champions, or have sired champions. Total number of stallions enrolled for 2009 exceeds 290 so far.

The money raised will be paid out at the Sport Horse National Championships in September 2009, with 10% of the total going to the top two Payback sires of the show. There is also a special award for the most winning Payback stallion competing at the show.

All offspring of enrolled stallions are eligible for the cash payouts in the designated Payback classes throughout their lifetime. Classes include working hunter, sport horse in hand, dressage, driving, jumper, sport horse under saddle and hunter hack.

Stallions may be enrolled, or breeding services purchased for 2009, by visiting the SHN Payback website and downloading the appropriate form. Stallions must meet eligibility requirements, and there is no cost for enrollment. The deadline for enrollment is June 30.
