The Alberta Stock Horse Association (ASHA), formerly the Northern Alberta Reined Cow Horse Club, has grown significantly and hosts some of Canada’s largest cow horse shows. Offspring from purchased stallions will be eligible for the ASHA cash incentive, with significant payouts for the highest-earning reined cow horse offspring at our Futurity Finals. With 50% of the stallion auction proceeds creating our Futurity payout. This incentive is the highest in Canada and growing rapidly, this is a great added bonus for both the offspring and the stallion owners. The remaining 50% of the money raised from the auction will continue to provide much needed funds for our club functions. To date, this has been used for funding items and activities such as youth clinics, cattle works, advertising, member givebacks, and added money at our year end Futurity and Derby limited aged events.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the growth of the cow horse industry!
