On December 10, the KHRA approved rule clarifications to
the KyQHA Breeders' Incentive Fund.
To view those rules visit
http://www.kyqha.com/kqhbif/rules.htm
These rules are from December 10 forward.
However, if your stallion stood in Kentucky in 2007 and
met KyQHA BIF breeding requirements in 2007, we would
like to have a copy of your 2007 AQHA breeding report at
your earliest convenience. If you did not retain a copy,
please ask AQHA to forward one.
Rule clarifications:
19. The “breeding season” is defined as
beginning February 1 and ending July 15 each year in the
northern hemisphere. The stallion shall stand the
entire breeding season residing in Kentucky. All semen,
to include raw, cooled, frozen, or otherwise, shall be
produced and utilized to cause the conception of the
KyQHA BIF eligible offspring during the breeding season
in which the stallion stood in Kentucky. If the
stallion does not reside in Kentucky for the entire
breeding season, the resulting offspring may not be
KyQHA eligible.
The stallion may leave the state at any time during
the breeding season for show, race, or other purposes
unrelated to breeding services. Stallions may not breed
a mare or have his semen collected away from his
declared Kentucky residence for the breeding season. If
a stallion owner chooses to have a shorter breeding
season and remove the stallion from his declared
residence prior to July 15, that may be done so long as
no other breeding occurs. Stallions do not have to be
physically in Kentucky by February 1, but must have a
declared residence by this date. KyQHA and the KHRA
reserves the right to confirm a stallion’s residency
with a farm or breeding facility visit.
34. Any attempt in connection with the Kentucky
Horse Breeders’ Incentive Fund to provide false or
misleading information to the Kentucky Quarter Horse
Association (KyQHA) or government officials, or to
otherwise engage in fraudulent activity, shall result in
appropriate disciplinary action by the KyQHA and the
application of all civil and criminal penalties that may
apply. this should also be posted as a separate item
under the program.
KyQHA will utilize all options to monitor any fraud
against the program. KyQHA and the KHRA reserves the
right to confirm a stallion’s residency or confirm a
mare’s foaling or breeding location with a farm or
breeding facility visit. See rule # 17.
Additional FAQs:
Is there a deadline for stallion enrollment?
In complying with rule 19, the deadline for stallion
enrollment is February 1 of the breeding year. A signed
stallion enrollment form with a declared residence
should be on file with the KyQHA Office. Keep in mind
that you must meet all deadlines for the AQHA IF
nominations as well.
Do stallions standing for racing offspring
need to be nominated to the AQHA Incentive Fund?
Racing stallions do not have to be nominated to the
AQHA IF, but it is recommended so that the offspring
are more valuable and versatile.
Do broodmares need to be enrolled in the
KyQHA BIF?
No. The only requirement on the broodmare is that she
be located in Kentucky during breeding and foaling. A
breeding report will serve as a record of which mares
are bred. A veterinary report will verify the foaling
in Kentucky.
How do I enroll my horse to be eligible for
awards?
There is no enrollment required for a horse to
receive KyQHA BIF awards. However, we encourage owners
to have their horses verified as eligible. Once the
KyQHA office has officially reviewed a horse’s papers
and breeding information, we will place the eligible
horse’s name on the KyQHA web site. This saves the
association time when determining award winners. For
more information, go to

How do I pay sales tax on breeding services?
If you are going to sell stud services in the state
of Kentucky, you should apply for a Sales and Use Tax ID
with the Kentucky Department of Revenue and file a
quarterly Sales and Use Tax return. Along with this
return, you should also file Form 51A132 which dedicates
the tax to the Breeders' Incentive Fund. For more
