NSBA Stallion Service Auction: Funding the Future of the Incentive Fund

The NSBA Stallion Service Auction is more than just an opportunity to access premier stallions at a competitive rate—it’s a vital funding mechanism for one of NSBA’s cornerstone programs: the Incentive Fund.

How It Works
Each year, generous stallion owners donate a breeding to the NSBA Stallion Service Auction. These breedings are then made available for public purchase through the online auction, which opens annually on October 1. When you purchase a breeding through the auction, you’re not only securing a top-quality sire for your mare—you’re directly investing in the Incentive Fund.

What the Auction Supports
Proceeds from the sale of each donated breeding go directly into the NSBA Incentive Fund, which rewards enrolled horses for points earned in NSBA-approved classes. This unique model provides lifetime earnings potential for enrolled horses and helps grow participation in NSBA events across the country.

Complimentary Foal Enrollment
A major benefit for those who purchase a breeding through the Stallion Service Auction is a complimentary foal enrollment for the resulting foal into the Incentive Fund.

Purchasing a 2026 breeding through the auction makes foals born in 2026, sired by a sold auction stallion, eligible to be enrolled in the Incentive Fund. When that resulting foal is shown in NSBA-approved classes, it begins earning points that convert to dollars through the program.

Long-Term Value
The Incentive Fund offers value for the life of the enrolled horse. Once enrolled, that horse is eligible to earn Incentive Fund money year after year in approved NSBA classes, making the initial investment in a breeding even more worthwhile.

Participate and Make a Difference
Whether you're a stallion owner looking to promote your stallion and contribute to the future of the industry, or a mare owner seeking a high-impact breeding opportunity with financial benefits, the NSBA Stallion Service Auction offers a meaningful way to participate in and support the Incentive Fund.
