Last Chance Buy-In for Sweepstakes
If your horse was not enrolled in-utero as a Breeding Entry, now is your chance to enroll them into the Sweepstakes Program and be eligible to earn prize money in Sweepstakes Designated Classes.
Enrollment is available until October 15, 2019 for the Last Chance Buy-In for Sweepstakes. This program is for any horse(s) that were not entered into the Sweepstakes Program.
This one-time nomination makes your horse eligible to compete at the 18 Regional Championship Shows, Canadian Nationals, Sport Horse Nationals and U.S. Nationals in Sweepstakes-designated classes and Jackpot classes (qualifications may be required in some classes). Horses must be enrolled in the Sweepstakes Program prior to the start of the show in order to be eligible to earn prize money at that show. Retroactive enrollments will not be allowed. The only classes not eligible to the Original Entry category are the Sweepstakes Yearling Halter classes which are reserved for Breeding Entries only.
The Original Entry category is open to any horse that is registered with the Arabian Horse Association or the Canadian Registries. Your horse does not have to be by a Sweepstakes Nominated Sire or out of a Sweepstakes Nominated Dam to enroll.
This is your last chance to buy-in to the Sweepstakes Program for those not previously enrolled!
