The National Snaffle Bit Association has announced that its Incentive Fund program will pay out $120,043.30 to NSBA members who showed their enrolled horses in Dual-Approved and Special Event NSBA classes in 2023. The program is paying $24.73 per NSBA point earned.
NSBA’s Incentive Fund program pays the foal’s nominator, the stallion nominator and the current horse owner throughout the horse’s show career. IF-enrolled horses that are shown in Dual-Approved and Special Event classes earn points that translate into a cash value annually. Dual-Approved classes are offered at shows held by all of NSBA’s Alliance partners, including AQHA, APHA, ApHC, ABRA, IBHA, PtHA, PHBA and POA shows. Points are earned in Open, Amateur and Amateur Select classes, however Green and Novice classes do not count toward the payout.
Horses can earn IF points and payback throughout their entire show career. The IF pays 80 percent of the total earnings to the horse owner, ten percent of the total earnings to the stallion nominator and ten percent of the total earnings to the foal nominator, on an annual basis.
To be eligible to enroll in the NSBA Incentive Fund Program, all horses must be offspring of a stallion that sells in the NSBA Stallion Service Auction during the foaling year. You can check the status of your foal’s sire by visiting nsba.com/if. You’ll find a link to Nominated Stallions, where you can download the stallions, listed alphabetically by the year of enrollment.
If you missed the December deadline to nominate your weanling foal to the NSBA’s Incentive Fund, Breeders Championship Futurity or Color Breeders Championship Futurity, you can still enroll your yearling into the programs at an economical price until May 15. After May 15, the fees for these programs will increase.
