What is the Stallion Incentive Fund Licensing program?

NSBA introduced the Stallion Incentive Fund (SIF) Licensing program beginning in 2008 for horses of all ages.  All licensed horses are eligible to earn incentive fund points based on Dual Approved and Special Event shows earning cash value.  Payout is based on the purse of Stallion Incentive Fund sold breedings for the current year.  All NSBA points earned in Dual Approved and Special Event Open and Amateur classes will be paid out excluding green and novice classes.

The stallion nominator receives 10% of the earnings of offspring, the horse nominator earns 10% and the owner of the horse earns 80% of the License payout.

How do I know if my horse is eligible to be licensed?

To be licensed, a horse must be sired by a stallion that sold in the NSBA Stallion Incentive Fund the year the licensed horse foaled.  Eligible stallions (1991-present) are listed on the NSBA website, www.nsba.com, under Licensing.

Does my horse need to be licensed to show in NSBA classes?

NO!  To show in NSBA classes both the owner and exhibitor are required to be NSBA members.  The horse does not need to be licensed.  The license provides the eligibility to earn money for NSBA Dual Approved and Special Event points.

Does my horse need to be licensed to show in the SIF classes?

YES!  These classes will be offered annually at regional shows and at Alliance Partner World Championship Shows.  SIF classes to be held:

• 2 Year Old Open Western Pleasure
• 3 Year Old Open Hunter Under Saddle
• 3 Year Old Non Pro Western Pleasure

All SIF classes will be offered after July 1st and will not be approved at any show during the NSBA World Championship Show.

To be eligible to compete in the SIF classes all horses must show a Stallion Incentive Fund License and be sired by a sold stallion in the Stallion Incentive Fund program for the competition year.

If I do not license my weanling, can I still license it later?

Yes, horses sired by eligible stallions may be licensed for a onetime fee of $200.  Horses sired by sold stallions can be licensed by December 15 of their weanling year for $100.
