The purpose of the Maiden Mare and Open Mare Breeding Incentive Program is to bring new Thoroughbred mares or out of production Thoroughbred brood mares into production. (An out of production Thoroughbred mare is one that was not bred and was open in 2022).
For this program; not bred means that the mare was not in the breeding shed, was not live covered or bred by any other means by any breed of stallion in the year 2022 and regardless of whether or not it resulted in a pregnancy.
Breeders who bred a maiden mare or a mare who was not bred in 2022, to a Stallion standing in Alberta for the 2023 breeding season with the intention of producing an Alberta Bred in 2024 will receive $2,500; $1,000 will be payable with confirmation of a 42 day or greater pregnancy by a registered vet and a declaration from the stallion owner. Breeders will receive the remaining $1,500 within 30 days of a live foal report filed with The Jockey Club resulting in an Alberta bred foal in 2024.
