ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive

The ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive was launched to give stallion owners an opportunity to showcase their foals and promote the rope horse industry. Created in 2023 by Jay and Lindsay Wadhams, along with Ryan and Candi Sellers, the ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive allows stallion owners to join a select group of peers and encourage others to breed to their stallion. The program aims to elevate the value of rope horses and offer breeders a unique marketing advantage. By participating in the ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive, stallion owners can nominate their stallions for a $4,000 fee, which makes all their four-, five-, and six-year-old foals eligible for the Top Gun side pot. Of this fee, $3,500 goes directly into the side pot, benefiting both the stallion owner and the owners of the stallion’s offspring. The ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive ensures no additional nomination fees for offspring, making it easier for stallion owners to participate and reap the rewards. Starting in 2023, the ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive will be available at key events, beginning with the Redbud Spectacular ARHFA Futurity in Oklahoma City and the World Championship Futurity in Fort Worth, TX. From 2024 onwards, the nomination fee will be due by January 1st each year, and the ARHFA Top Gun Stallion Incentive will be featured at multiple seasonal events, continuing to showcase and elevate rope horses to new heights.
