As the 2023 year comes to an end, we are so happy to have had such an amazing year with The CBHI.
The CBHI Super Stakes Stallion Auction was another successful one, bringing in $197,000 for the payout in 2027. The waiting list moved forward again this year, adding new stallions into the auction. Congratulations to Annette Moore and “Blackgold Jack” who were the winning Super Stakes stallion owner in 2023.
The CBHI Futurity/Derby held at Ponoka over the thanksgiving weekend saw 141 entries in the futurity with 84 being Super Stakes Certificate Holders. The Derby saw 153 entries, with 87 being Super Stakes certificate Holders. We continue to have large entries, and with the 3rd year of running the open, youth, and peewee on the Thursday and Friday, then the Futurity, Derby, and Horse Sale on the Saturday and Sunday, the overall feedback was that this format was so much better and easier to follow and attend. This year we did do a ‘trial’ for the breakaway, with 12 ladies being invited according to their standings in participating associations. There seemed to be a very good response to this addition, however, we will need to have more sponsors step forward in order for this to grow. If this is something that you wish to see more of, please contact the office.
In total, The CBHI paid out $63,000.00 in 2023 Incentive money to offspring of our nominated stallions, and $21,000.00 paid out to stallion owners, $1,500 to the youth. Top stallion for 2023 was Ninety Nine Goldmine, with 32 placings and a payout of $1,376.00. Please see website for all stallion placings.
CBHI launched a new mare program in 2021, to include those owners who are breeding to a CBHI Stallion, but are not necessarily a stallion owner themselves. We continue to have more mares nominated, and we are excited to start paying out the first year, 2026. We will give stallion owners an extended deal to nominate mares still for $60 until Dec 1. (Mares with 2023 foals on)
Our AGM is slated for Sunday January 21, 2024 at 10:30 am, at the Leduc Recreation Centre |
As the 2021 year comes to an end, we are so happy to see some normalcy return throughout the summer, allowing barrel races to be run. The rodeo associations also got to have a short season, with finals being pushed further into the fall. Hopefully next year will be back to normal schedules and events can run without covid restrictions!
