ABI - About Us

Atlantic Breeders Incentive Program ("ABI") is designed to promote the breeding of reining horses in the eastern United States and in Canada. The money collected, including the nomination fees paid by the owners of the enrolled stallions, and the nomination fees paid by the breeders (mare owners), are distributed in a Three Year Old Futurity and a Four, Five, and Six Year Old Derby. The first Annual Futurity was held July 1998 at the Eastern Agricultural Center in Williamston, NC, and is currently hosted by the Carolina Fall Classic Futurity in October. The Four, Five, and Six Year Old Derby Division started in 2003 and is currently held in conjunction with the Carolina Classic Derby.

Futurity and Derby Divisions include: Open, Intermediate Open and Intermediate Non-Pro. Spread the word, so we can add more divisions to the ABI Futurity and Derby. We currently offer Level 4-2 for Open and Non Pro at both events.

The ABI is produced by Atlantic Breeders, Inc., a North Carolina based non-for-profit corporation. All nomination and enrollment fees are maintained in money market investment accounts at federally insured banks. Promotional and administrative expenses (not to include the web site) are estimated to be less than 15% of the stallion enrollment and breeder nomination fees each year. The balance of all fees received and the interest earned will be used as added money for the Atlantic Breeders Incentive Program in future years. The Atlantic Breeder’s board of directors can change or improve the rules at any time or can cancel the program and if so, will reimburse nominations minus 15%.
