Nominators of sires are NOT required to be sire owners, and bonus money based on the performance of enrolled sires' get in the Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championships is paid directly to nominators! Producers of the successful Texas Pre-Green Super Stake Series, the Super Series Group partners introduced the Texas Hunter Sire and Texas Hunter Breeding Programs in 2015. The Sire Program marries the two competitive programs to reward sire nominators and promote Hunter sires, not required to be based in Texas. In an effort to promote Hunter and Jumper breeding in Texas and throughout the United States, the Super Series Group will promote enrolled stallions via their website, e-newsletters, and social media outlets from the time of enrollment through the end of the program season. Stallion bonuses will be paid to the nominators of the sires of top eligible offspring in the Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championships. Stallion owners and nominators are encouraged to suggest program enrollment for offspring of enrolled sires, as enrollment will serve as a benefit to both sire and offspring.
