The Breeders Challenge is modeled after the highly successful and lucrative prize programs in the reining and cutting horse world. The Breeders Challenge includes a stallion service auction, which will be held during the World's Championship Horse Show (WCHS), and a $100,000 Breeders Challenge Stake, to be held at the Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show. 

The online auction will start on August 21 and end on Friday, August 28th at 2:00 PM ET. The 20 stallion services with the highest bids will be auctioned off live on Friday night after the show. The remaining stallion services will be considered sold to the highest bidder. Make sure to bid now and bid often to secure your spot in the Breeders Challenge!

All of the winning bidders, along with the owners of the donated stallion services will get a voucher to compete in the $100,000 Breeders Challenge Stake class.  The vouchers are not transferable, but a horse that has been sold after being declared for the Breeders Challenge class can still show in that class under the new ownership.  You are allowed to purchase multiple stallion services to have the opportunity to show multiple horses in the class.  If a stallion owner purchases their own stallion service back they will get two vouchers, one for donating their stallion service and one for purchasing a stallion service.  Vouchers are not transferable from year to year and must be used in the class that follows the stallion service auction.
