MEMBERSHIP and STALLION
NOMINATION RULES

The Kentucky Quarter Horse Breeder’s Association is a non-profit organization of Kentucky Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred stallion owners dedicated to increasing the value and improving the quality of Kentucky-bred Quarter Horses.

ALL MONEY obtained through stallion nomination fees, the annual stallion service auction, and donations or contributions of any kind, is used to sponsor annual high-paying halter, performance and racing futurities. Foals produced by nominated stallions are eligible to compete in these futurities during their weanling through aged.

Any stallion is eligible for nomination providing:
1. He is registered with the American Quarter Horse Association or the Jockey Club.
2. He stands at stud within the confines of the state of Kentucky during the breeding season of the year he is nominated.
3. At least 50% ownership in the stallion is maintained by a Kentucky resident – or – if the stallion is leased, the lessee is a Kentucky resident and proof of lease is provided to the KQHBA.

TO NOMINATE:
Stallions must be nominated annually by payment of a nomination fee and a donation of one stallion service to be sold by the association. Nomination will entitle the foals resulting from the breeding season of the following calendar year to be eligible for KQHBA futurities. The stallion nomination fee is as follows:
If paid by October 1 $200.00
If paid by November 20 $250.00
If paid by December 31 $300.00

However, stallions nominated after the December 31st deadline and prior to stallion service auction may nominate by paying a fee of $300, plus an amount equal to one-half the advertised breeding fee. If a stallion breeding fee has not been established, the Executive Committee will establish a fee for the nominated stallion.

KQHBA has been in existence since 1983. The membership of KQHBA invites you to take advantage of this opportunity to increase the value of your stallion and his foals by becoming an active member of the organization dedicated to improving the quarter horse breeding industry in Kentucky.
