THE BREEDER’S GUIDE

elcome to National Horseman’s sixth annual Breeder’s Guide, a comprehensive multi-breed guide to aid breeders in selecting their stallions for the upcoming breeding season. In the following pages, you’ll meet some of the industry’s top stallions and breeding programs. Whether you are looking for a stallion to pair with your mare or simply like to keep your

thumb on the pulse of breeding trends in the industry, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Why so many breeds under one “roof?” We believe cross-exposure is vital to the growth of our

industry at large. Our breeds are experience more crossover than ever, with trainers broadening their program to specialize in multiple breeds, and owners adding new breeds to their show strings. We hope you will leave this guide with a newfound appreciation for all the show horse breeds that make up our wonderful community. Our coverstock breed lead-ins make it easy to navigate to your breed or breeds of interest. Within each section, you will find performance-based sire rankings, as well as Stallion Stats on each of our featured sires. As always, we are grateful to the breeders and stallion owners who support this issue. Breeding is an incredible, unpredictable journey. It is our breeders who bring the next generation of show horses to light and ensure a healthy industry long into the future. Here, we celebrate them. Enjoy!
