The National Reining Breeders Classic Incentive Program experienced a substantial increase in foal enrollments in 2018. According to the NRBC headquarters office in Byars, OK, the numbers confirmed a 3% increase in foal enrollments from last year.

In 2016, 2,235 foals were enrolled in the program; this year, that number increased by 80 enrollments bringing the tally up to 2,315 enrollments. “In a breeding industry that has continually had its ups and downs in recent years, this is a very positive sign,” said Cheryl Cody, NRBC Secretary-Treasurer.

With the deadline for stallion re-enrollments tomorrow, the numbers are looking good there too. Stallions that are already enrolled in the program must be renewed by tomorrow, but new stallions can enroll for the first time at any time of the year. Many will come in after their foals are on the ground.

The NRBC is a stallion incentive program. After a stallion becomes part of the program, his foals may be enrolled. Those foals, as 4, 5, and 6-year-olds, can then compete at the prestigious week-long event which has paid out $20 million in its past 20 years.
