Sire & Dam Program
Getting its start in 1966, the NRHA Sire & Dam Program continues to provide significant benefits to participants while also helping support
NRHA. Both stallion and mare owners can take advantage of the bonuses offered by the program.
"In my opinion the Sire & Dam Program is one of the best offered. It didn't cost me any out of pocket money to participate. It was such a thrill when the NRHA Sire & Dam Program presented me with a check for more than $33,000 for owning the sire of the 2001 NRHA Open Futurity Champion. I felt as though I had just won the Futurity myself . . . I wish more of the breeding programs would reward donating stallion owners."
"The NRHA Sire & Dam Program is the greatest thing going. It's cost effective and benefits everyone involved. From a mare owner's point of view, the money we save for the resulting foal is worth its weight in gold. It's the only deal in town!"
Sire & Dam Offspring eligibility remains with the foal even if sold by the mare owner. Please contact the office to verify Sire & Dam Offspring status.

What Participants Have To Say
"I've been involved with the Sire & Dam Program since its inception. In the early years, the Program was a real lifesaver for the NRHA. From the beginning until the present, it has been an asset to the industry. Unlike other programs, it has always worked."-Bob Loomis
