Pro Elite Stallion Incentive (PESI)

The Pro Elite Stallion Incentive (PESI) is an incentive program designed to support breeders, owners, and trainers in the barrel racing industry by offering added prize money to futurity events. PESI promotes horses sired by enrolled stallions and provides financial incentives to those who compete in certain futurity and derby events.

Why Should You Enroll Your Horse?

1. Eligibility for Added Payouts:
   • Horses sired by a nominated PESI stallion are eligible for significant added prize money in specific events that are part of the program.
   • Enrolling your horse gives you access to a larger pool of prize money, which can increase the financial reward of competing in futurity or derby events.
2. Boosts Your Horse’s Marketability:
   • Being a PESI-eligible horse gives your horse a prestigious connection to top-performing stallions. This can increase the value and marketability of your horse, making it a more attractive option for buyers, breeders, and trainers.
3. Year-Round Incentives:
   • PESI is not limited to just one event or a small set of competitions. The incentive program offers access to multiple qualifying futurities, giving you more opportunities to earn rewards throughout the year.
4. Opportunities to Compete in High-Value Events:
   • By enrolling your horse in PESI, you can compete in high-value events with added prize money, giving you the chance to win substantial payouts. Many of these events have significant cash prizes, making it worth the enrollment.
5. Support for Stallion Owners:
   • Stallion owners who enroll in PESI are incentivized to breed their stallions to quality mares, and their foals become eligible for PESI incentives. This program helps to elevate the success of both the stallion and the foals it produces.
6. Networking and Community:
   • Being part of PESI allows you to be part of a larger community of breeders, owners, and competitors in the barrel racing world. Networking with other professionals in the industry can help with future opportunities, breeding plans, and career growth.

How to Enroll:
Stallion Nomination: Stallion owners must nominate their stallions for the PESI program. Once nominated, the stallion’s foals become eligible for the incentive when they compete in PESI-affiliated events.

Horse Eligibility: If your horse is sired by a PESI-eligible stallion, it will automatically qualify for PESI incentives. Ensure that your horse is properly registered and tracked for eligibility.

Enrollment Fees: There are specific enrollment fees for both stallion owners and horse owners. These fees vary, so it’s important to consult the PESI program’s official rules for exact amounts and deadlines.

By enrolling your horse in the Pro Elite Stallion Incentive (PESI), you increase your chances of earning added prize money and enhance your horse’s standing in the barrel racing community. This program helps to provide financial rewards, as well as the opportunity to compete at some of the most prestigious events in the sport.

Note: The exact events, rules, and deadlines for PESI enrollment may vary annually, so it’s essential to check the official PESI website or contact the organizers for the most up-to-date information.
