The purpose of the PQHA Quality Improvement Program is to breed better Quarter Horses as
well as to encourage the growth of the PQHA and its futurities, provide promotion for stallion
owners and create additional revenue to improve PQHA. There is a special closed QIP futurity
for participants only (owner and exhibitor must be PQHA members). Stallion owners gain promotion
for their stallions through the PQHA newsletter and web site, with links to their web sites.
1. Stallion owner to donate breeding to QIP to be purchased at 1/2 price their normal stud fee.
a. Breeding fee will be listed as advertised by stallion owner or a minimum of $400 (sell fee of
$210) for unadvertised stallions and those listed as private treaty.
b. Any additional charges or fees charged by stallion owner, i.e., chute fees, semen collection,
semen transportation, etc., must be included in any QIP advertisements.

2. PQHA sells this breeding on a first come, first served basis. Stallion breedings are available to
PQHA members only. The stallion owner has the right to reserve the breeding. In order to
reserve a QIP breeding, stallion fee and $10 show fee must be paid at time service is donated.
Any breeding reserved must be designated in QIP advertisement.

3. Stallion owner is entitled to one entry in weanling, yearling and 2-year-old QIP futurity (per
donated breeding) by that stallion, provided donated breeding is sold or purchased by stallion
owner. This entry must be owned by the stallion owner and must be designated within the
weanling year and remain the same through all three years. Stallion owner has the option to
"buy in" for any other foals by that stallion that he chooses to show at the same "buy-in" fee for
mare owners ($85/per Buy-In Entry).

4. All resulting foals by stallion enrolled in this program are eligible to enter this QIP futurity
(provided said stallion service is sold or paid by stallion owner), by paying a "buy-in" fee of $75
plus $10 show fee. These "buy-in" fees will be added to the QIP monies. ("Buy-in" fee does not
apply to the foal resulting from purchase of the donated breeding through the QIP). The "buy-in"
fee enables the foal owner to remain enrolled for all three years in the program, even if they
elect not to show as a weanling. Deadline for all "buy-in" fees and show fees is July 15. Double
fees will apply from July 16 to December 31 of the weanling year. There will be no "buy-ins"
permitted after the weanling year.

5. Mare owners may purchase the donated breeding for 1/2 price plus $10 show fee if stallion is
not reserved. The resulting foal is automatically eligible for the QIP futurity all three years
without paying "buy-in" fee, but $10 show fee will be required for each year showing. Mares
must be registered with the AQHA and must be halter broken. The stallion owner may require a
veterinary certificate and/or tests such as culture, Coggins, etc. Any incident, illness or mishap
to the mare is the responsibility of the mare owner. The purchaser of this service shall have
return privileges in season (February 1 through August 31). A live foal is guaranteed only to the
extent of return the following year of the same mare or if stallion owner approves, a substitute
mare. Payment for a stallion service in the QIP is an obligation and must be honored within 10
days. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of all privileges of membership until the obligation
is fulfilled.

6. Stallion breedings will be sold as they are donated, on a first-come/first-served basis. The QIP Chairperson cannot make recommendations to mare owner concerning the choice of a stallion or a particular mare.

7. The QIP Futurity will be held in conjunction with, but not combined with, the PQHA Futurity. The Chairperson must be notified by July 15 of entries in the QIP Weanling Futurity. A $25
processing fee will be charged for entries received after this date. Entries for yearling and 2-
year-old classes must pay $10 show fee by July 15. Double fees will apply 7/16 through show
day. AQHA Registration or Breeder's Certificate for nominated foals must be presented prior to
showing in the QIP Futurity. QIP Classes will consist of: Weanling Halter Fillies & Colts/Geldings Yearling Lunge Line 2-year-old Pleasure (English & Western)
