AmQHA
Incentive Fund
The AmQHA's Incentive Fund is a multi-million dollar awards program
for the American Quarter Horse show industry that's now also available
in Australia. You could win money for every point earned in AmQHA open
and amateur competitions - so you should make sure your AmQHA-registered
Quarter Horses are Incentive Fund-nominated.
The Program
The AmQHA Incentive Fund is easy money for those who breed and show
American Quarter Horses. The Incentive Fund is the richest payout program
of its kind with more than $3.7 million paid to stallion owners, foal
nominators and show horse owners in 2000. This is your opportunity to gain
extra income and recognition by simply nominating and showing Incentive Fund
horses. It's that easy!
Who's invited?
Who's invited to be a part of the AmQHA Incentive Fund? Any of the following:
-
Stallion owners
The benefits of enrolling your stallion in the Incentive Fund grows with
each foal crop. Enroll your stallion by November 30 each year prior to the
northern hemisphere breeding season and his foals are eligible to be nominated
to the Incentive Fund. You'll earn 10% of your stallion's nominated
foals' lifetime Incentive Fund earnings and your stallion will be included
in the free listings of Incentive Fund stallions in the October through April
issues of The American Quarter Horse Journal and in the Member's Area on
the AmQHA's Web site. Stallion owners pay a fee each year based on the number
of mares listed on the previous season's breeding report. It's an investment
that really pays off!
-
Foal nominators
By breeding your mares to Incentive Fund enrolled stallions or by purchasing
foals that are by Incentive Fund stallions, you can reap more monetary rewards
by nominating the foals to the Incentive Fund. Foal nominators earn 10%
of the foal's lifetime Incentive Fund earnings. Even if you sell the
foal, you still receive his earnings because you are the nominator.
-
Show horse owners
When you buy an Incentive Fund-nominated horse and show in AmQHA-approved
events, you'll earn 80% of the point value for every point earned
in open and amateur competitions. In 2000, the point value was $31.27, resulting
in $3.7 million in total payout money. Always look for the Incentive
Fund-nominated seal on an American Quarter Horse's registration papers.
