The State of Pennsylvania has one of the finest and most lucrative stallion and breeder’s programs available.
Since its inception, The Pennsylvania Breeding Fund has grown from annual disbursements of $65,000 to nearly $15 million. Now, with the addition of slots’ revenue pouring into the Program, Thoroughbred owners and breeders have potential for even greater profits.
What makes a horse eligible for PA-Bred registration?
A Thoroughbred foal born in the state of Pennsylvania, and registered as such with the Jockey Club, is eligible for Pennsylvania-Bred registration with the PHBA if one of the following conditions is met:- For foals of 2008 and thereafter, the dam of the foal resided continuously in Pennsylvania since October 1 of the year of conception through foaling.
- The dam of the foal was purchased at a public sale after October 1 of the year of conception and brought into Pennsylvania within 14 days of the date of purchase and remained continuously through foaling. During the year of foaling, the foal or its dam spent at least ninety (90) days in the state.
- The dam of the foal was bred to a stallion standing in Pennsylvania which was registered with the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association as a Pennsylvania stallion during the breeding season of the year of foaling, and said dam of the foal remained in the state for at least the next ninety (90) days after foaling.
The increased demand for Pennsylvania thoroughbred horses makes DeepMeadows farm the perfect setting to foal your mare and take full advantage of the PA Certification Program.
