[haflingerfriends] Re: question ??

The stallion License renewal fees are suppose to go into marketing/promotion of the Haflinger, which in the past was for things like sponsorships, magazine ads in equne magazine etc, NOT the SIP (stallion Incentive Program) That program is for stallions who have paid a fee to enter, and then they pay an additional fee for each mare that was bred that year. Then if the owners of those foals wish to participate, they too, pay a fee for their foals, and show them in the SIP class. That money is then awarded to the foals who place, and the champion and reserve champion sire also get a check. AHR does not put any money into the Futurity OR the SIP programs, they are ALL funded by the breeders and owners who participate
