Program Guidelines

Automatically Subscribed for
2005 Challenge:

Subscribed Stallions:
     The 2005 LIST OF STALLIONS (Click "2005 List . . . ") is automatically subscribed for the 2004 Stallion Stakes due to past (1999-2004) participation in the CRHA stallion breeding donation program/auctions. Three year olds of this list of stallions are eligible to enter the 2005 Stallion Stakes Futurity class to run concurrent with the Open and Non Pro Futurity classes.  Any three year old from these stallions are eligible for 200
5 Challenge Stallion Stakes. To maintain eligibility for Stallion Stakes, the stallion owner must participate in the Stallion Service Auction each year.  Proposed entry fee for 3-yr old Stallion Stakes is $300.00 for the Open class and $225.00 for the Non Pro division (subject to change).

Payout:
      Retain 10% for show; 10% to top two stallion owners in each class, 80% to awards (70/30 Open/Non Pro). Stallion owners who do not participate in the donation program and/or do not subscribe their stallions are not eligible for monetary awards.  A congratulatory letter will be sent to the owners of non-subscribed stallions inviting them to participate for the following year.  Any monies that would have been awarded to stallion owners who do not participate will remain in the Stallion Stakes program for future prizes.

2005 Challenge Participation by Three-Year-Olds
of Non Subscribed Stallions:

Owner Joins Program:
      "Guest" Stallions can be subscribed for 2005 so that their three-year-olds can compete although the stallion owner has not previously participated in the Stallion Service Donation program. The stallion owner can subscribe a stallion by participating in the 2005 Stallion Service Auction for 2006 breeding and an admission fee of $700.00. A 2005 donation for 2006 breeding subscribes the stallion and his 3-year-olds can participate in 2006. The participant pays regular Stallion Stakes Futurity entry fee. To continue as a subscribed stallion, the owner must donate a breeding each year to the Auction program.

2005 Challenge Participation by Three-Year-Olds
of Non-Subscribed Stallions:
Owner Chooses Not To Participate:
(as outlined in preceding paragraph)
     The owner/rider of a three year old of a non-subscribed stallion can"buy in" for either a $350.00 for Non Pro entry or $500.00 for Open entry enrollment fee plus 2X entry fee (2004); 3X (2005); 4X (2006); etc.
