Adding even more value for breeders, stallion owners, and exhibitors at the sport’s premier stage.

​

​September 8th, 2025 - In today’s reining landscape, breeders and owners are asked to consider multiple programs when it comes to enrolling their foals. The All Star Reining Stakes (ASRS) is making that decision easier with the launch of its new Weanling Enrollment Incentive—a first-of-its-kind program that rewards nominators for enrolling foals at the weanling stage.​

​

Beginning with the 2028 Futurity (2025 Foals), the nominator of the highest-scoring weanling-enrolled horse will earn:

​​

• $2,500 in the Open Futurity

• $1,000 in the Non-Pro Futurity

​

This incentive is in addition to standard nominator paybacks, creating one more compelling reason for breeders to enroll foals with ASRS early.

​

A Program on the Rise

The Weanling Enrollment Incentive builds on the rapid growth of ASRS. From 2024 to 2025, exhibitor payouts are projected to grow by roughly 20%, solidifying ASRS as one of the fastest-expanding platforms in the reining industry. This incentive is designed as a long-term investment, with plans to expand and grow annually as the program continues to thrive.

In 2025 alone, ASRS will distribute:​

​

• Over $30,000 back to stallion owners

• More than $10,000 back to prospect enrollers

​

This reinvestment demonstrates the program’s commitment to every corner of the industry—breeders, owners, riders, and stallion owners alike.

​

Investing in Our Supporters

“As breeders, stallion owners, and exhibitors continue to invest in the All Star Reining Stakes, we are equally committed to investing right back into them,” said Vincienzo Santos. “This new incentive is about recognizing those who believe in our program from the very beginning of a foal’s journey.”​

The Congress Platform

Anchored by its prestigious stage at the Quarter Horse Congress, the All Star Reining Stakes offers unmatched visibility and credibility. The Congress remains the equine industries largest and most iconic event, making ASRS payouts and incentives all the more impactful for participants and their programs.
