Valley Equine is proud to announce the winners of its lucrative Super Stallion Incentive Program, which awarded a total of $146,500 to eligible horses in the Open Finals of the 2024 National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity. The program, designed to reward excellence in performance and breeding, highlights the exceptional offspring of participating stallions. This year’s winners showcased remarkable talent, earning top honors and substantial payouts in recognition of their achievements.
“As a firm believer in the incentive program, I can confidently say it’s one of the best things for our industry. This incentive encourages top-tier competition, driving everyone involved to push the limit. It’s not just about the payouts—though they’re great—but about the long-term benefits it brings to breeding programs and the future of our sport. I’m proud to contribute to the purse payout and support something that elevates the quality of competition year after year,” says Billy Wolf, owner of Dual Reyish and Lone Woolf.
The Valley Equine Super Stallion Incentive Program provides horse trainers with valuable opportunities to enhance their earnings. “Winning on Tuffer Than Metal and being part of this incredible incentive program is such a rewarding experience. It’s a game-changer for trainers like myself, as it not only recognizes the hard work, we put in but also provides meaningful support for the entire industry,” says Veronica Swales. “Programs like this push us to constantly improve and raise the bar, and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities it creates for both riders and owners.”
