Mare Incentives
The Mare Purchase Program offers breeders a significant incentive to invest in Ontario's breeding industry. To qualify, breeders must purchase in-foal mares at recognized public auctions outside Ontario, ensuring the progeny foal in Ontario in 2024. Only bona fide sales are eligible, excluding RNA's.
Applicants must be Ontario residents with a valid AGCO license, and partnerships with non-residents must provide ownership details. Applications require an invoice from a recognized sales company, proof of payment, the mare’s registration papers, and a commitment to the Mare Residency Program.
The program provides 50% of the purchase price up to $25,000 CAD per mare, with a minimum purchase price of $10,000 USD and no maximum. The maximum distribution per participant is $75,000 CAD, with a $2,500 CAD bonus for mares bred back to a Registered Ontario Sire in 2024.
The total funding is $500,000 CAD, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, considering Canadian and US dollars at par. Ownership cannot be transferred until commitments are fulfilled, and eligibility remains if a mare aborts, provided other criteria are met.
Note: All incentive programs are subject to annual review and revision, including cancellation.
