As the 2024 year comes to an end, we are very grateful for another successful year with the CBHI. 

The CBHI Super Stakes Stallion Auction was another successful one, bringing in $155,000.00 for the payout in 2028. The waiting list moved forward again this year, adding new stallions into the auction.

We had three new exciting additions to the event in Ponoka. First was the promotion of our amateur riders to promote the growth of our sport. Second was a new format for the breakaway roping with incentive money for CBHI sired horses, which was raised separate from the barrel racing program. The third was the addition of $15,200.00 added money to the 2D Super Stakes in the Futurity.  The CBHI board heard nothing but positive feedback from competitors and stallion owners on all of these additions. 

Congratulations to Annette Moore and “Blackgold Jack” that were the winning Super Stakes stallion for the 2nd year in a row! The CBHI Futurity/Derby held at Ponoka over the thanksgiving weekend saw 134 entries in the futurity with 70 being Super Stakes Certificate Holders. The Derby saw 153 entries, with 84 being Super Stakes certificate Holders. We continue to have large entries, and with the 4th year of running the open, youth, and peewee on the Thursday and Friday, then the Futurity, Derby, Breakaway and Horse Sale on the Saturday and Sunday, the overall feedback was to stick with this format.  

In total, The CBHI paid out $60,150.00 in 2024 events, and $20,150.00 paid out to stallion owners, $1,500 to the youth. Top stallion for 2024 was Ninety Nine Goldmine, with 50 placings and a payout of $1,253.00. Please see the website for all the stallion placings. 

Excitement around the mare program continues to elevate with the anticipation of the first payout in 2026. We are seeing numerous mare owners, breeding the CBHI stallions, that do not own stallions participating in the program. We will give stallion owners an extended deal to nominate mares for $60 until Dec 1. (Mares with 2024 foals). 

Our AGM is slated for Saturday January 25, 2025 at 11:00 am, at the Holiday Inn & Suites 1100 4^th Street, Nisku, AB T9E-8E2, Please RSVP by January 15, 2025. Lunch is provided, and any AGM topic or nominations for directors must be received by the office before December 25th, 2024. Director meeting to follow lunch. Thank-you for supporting the longest standing, not for profit, Barrel Horse Incentive in Canada with the lowest fees.

** Remember to get your 2025 stallion nominations into the office by Dec 1, 2024** 

CBHI President,

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 (4330 Black Gold Dr, Leduc, AB T9E 3C3) Please RSVP by January 8, 2024.
