Offspring Nominations

NRCHA is excited to offer an opportunity to breeders and owners to nominate their offspring into the Cow Horse Incentive for a chance to win a portion of the new nominator purse money that will be paid out for the first time at the 2025 NRCHA Stallion Stakes. The nominator purse will be paid out in the Open, Non Pro, and Non Pro Boxing derbies in accordance with the NRCHA payout rules and schedule.   

Offspring sired by a stallion that is subscribed for 2024 or 2025 are currently eligible to nominate for a one-time fee based on the year the horse was foaled.  Any offspring born between 2019 and 2024 may be nominated. Offspring foaled in 2019 would only be eligible for the Non Pro Boxing division at the 2025 Stallion Stakes.

Nomination Grace Period: 
To accommodate recent and continued interest, offspring sired by a stallion that is newly subscribed to the Cow Horse Incentive or a recently advanced Legacy Subscribed Stallion will be eligible for the $275 discounted rate for thirty (30) days after the stallion is listed on the NRCHA website.

Please have digital copies of your horse’s registration papers available when you complete the nomination form. Please have the date of birth and sire and dam registration information available to submit if you have not yet received your breed registration papers. The offspring nominator must be a member in good standing with the NRCHA.  

Stallion Subscriptions

A stallion must be subscribed to the Cow Horse Incentive in 2024 for offspring foaled in 2019 through 2024 to be nominated and to be eligible for the subscribed stallion portion of the incentive purse money at the 2025 NRCHA Stallion Stakes.  

A stallion must be subscribed in 2025 for offspring foaled in 2025 to be nominated and to be eligible for the subscribed stallion portion of the incentive purse money at the 2026 NRCHA Stallion Stakes.  

The program offers five-year, two-year or one-year terms. The annual stallion subscription fee is one-times (1X) the published stud fee with a $1,500 minimum per year. 

Stallions subscribed to the NRCHA’s former stallion subscription program are recognized as Legacy Subscribed Stallions and will receive a credit to apply for each subscribed year between 2020 and 2025. The credit will be incrementally applied to the new incentive annually at the rate paid up to $1,000 per year. 

The stallion subscription fee for a five-year term may be paid in full or a payment plan option is available. A 3% discount will be given on a 5-year subscription after all credits are applied for payments made in full. The payment plan option is also available for the two-year subscription term.  

The stallion subscriber must be a member in good standing with the NRCHA.
