Established in 2005, the Kentucky Horse Breeders’ Incentive Fund consists of 7 percent of all taxes
collected for breeding a stallion to a mare in the state
of Kentucky. The fund is often referred to as “NonRace” because it is set aside for all other breeds to earn
money competing in shows and contests, rather than
racing. Last year $223,388 was distributed to Walking
Horse owners in Kentucky through the program.
Over the past several years, WHOA’s presence in
Kentucky has been blossoming. It’s 2015 schedule
includes an impressive 11 Kentucky Horse Breeders
Incentive Fund eligible shows. With the WHOA-HIO’s
new status as a KHBIF approved HIO, there is little
doubt that WHOA’s activities in Kentucky will continue to grow.
