STALLION STAKES

The AQHRA is pleased to provide a strong stallion stakes program. Its purpose is to provide additional racing opportunities and incentives for foals sired by Alberta based stallions.  The 2026 breeding season is fast approaching and we encourage you to enroll your American Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred stallion in the Alberta Quarter Horse Racing Association’s Stallion Stakes Program.  Last year this program delivered total purses for trials and finals just over $150,000; it offers a futurity, derby and maturity.  The program is an ongoing effort to enhance and nurture the American Quarter Horse race horse breeding industry in Alberta.  In addition, American Quarter Horse foals born in Alberta and “Accredited AB-Bred” by the AQHRA, are eligible for ‘foaled in Alberta” incentives. This Breed Improvement program funding in 2025 totaled $111,860 (combined owner/breeder/stallion). 

The rules/conditions for this program are as follows: 

  1. The registered owner(s) or Lessee(s) of the stallion must be a member (single or family, and other as required) of the AQHRA.
  2. Submit completed Alberta Stallion Stakes Sire nomination form.
  3. Stallions must stand in a western Canadian province (BC, AB, SK or MB) consecutively between April 1 and July 1 of the breeding season year.
  4. An annual fee of $200 per stallion per year is required to nominate the stallion. The fee must be postmarked or timestamped on or before May 1st of the breeding season year. (Rule takes effect from approval date Jan 12, 2023)
  5. Foals have to be born in Alberta to be eligible to participate. AQHRA recommends that all owners foal their mares in Alberta to take advantage of the “foaled in Alberta” owners/breeders bonus incentives.
  6. It is the responsibility of the stallion owner/lessee to notify the AQHRA in writing if the stallion becomes deceased, is no longer breeding or changes ownership.
  7. Death of Nominated Stallion: immediately following the year of the stallion’s death and should frozen semen be available for use, the stallion owner may continue to enroll in the Alberta Stallion Stakes program for up to two consecutive calendar years. (Rule takes effect from approval date Dec 16, 2020)
