his LTE is low (~$16k) but his dam is the #1 cutting mare so far and sire not bad. His fee is $1250 and includes chute

Peppy from Heaven (Smart Little Lena x Peppys From Heaven). His fee is $1000

Thanks for posting! I think the breeding game is getting more and more competitive...lots of incentive from lots of big breeders in the performance horse industry! Some breeding for chute and booking fee only (Wichita Ranch, Johnny Walker, Ward Ranch, etc), others offering their own rider incentives (Babcock and SDP Buffalo Ranch) and more like Brightstone offering paid fee only when foal stands and nurses! If this keeps up, we will be seeing even more incentives and reduced fees...which for a time might be nice for the mare owner but it is going to reflect on sales prices as well.

With the NCHA growing in astronomical numbers, purses, etc, the NRHA having to reorganize their organization and the Cow Horse Association split into two distinct groups...it is no wonder that there is a little chaos in the breeding barns this year!

For those on a breed to show program...take advantage of the incentives while you can!
