Broodmare Incentive Program

Mail

Production Team • January 1, 2015

Open to All CTHS Members Who Are British Columbia Residents

All fillies and mares (including maiden fillies and mares) that were not bred in 2014 are eligible for the Broodmare Incentive Program.

Owners of qualifying broodmares will receive up to a total of $2,000 in the form of payments from the Broodmare Incentive Program and discounts from the owners of stallions registered for the Program.

Owners of mares eligible for this Program will, upon signing a breeding contract for the services of a British Columbia stallion registered for this Program, receive a payment of $500 towards costs (such as stallion booking fees, veterinarian expenses, board and shipping) without proof of expenses, provided they sign a letter of commitment to foal in British Columbia and either race the horse in BC, or sell it privately, or through a sale conducted by the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (BC Division).

A further payment of $500 will be made to owners of eligible mares when a licensed veterinarian certifies the mare as being in foal.

A final payment of $500 will be made to the owners of stallions eligible for the Program upon receipt of a live foal report. The amount of the final payment will match the $500 discount the stallion owner must provide in the breeding contract to make the stallion eligible for the program.

The maximum benefit to the mare owner of $2,000 will be realized with the three payments of $500 and the $500 discount from the advertised stud fee in the breeding contract.

NOT BOURBON PASSES

By CTHS BC • January 10, 2026

Not Bourbon (Not Impossible – Bourbon Belle) passed away on December 28, 2025, at the age of 20. Bred and owned by Charles Fipke and trained by Roger Attfield, Not Bourbon was an exceptional racehorse whose accomplishments earned him a place in Canadian racing history. During his career on the track, Not Bourbon captured some of the nation’s most prestigious races, including the Queen’s Plate, Plate Trial, Queenston Stakes, and Overskate Stakes. As a two-year-old, he showed early promise by winning the Bull Page Stakes and setting a track record for six furlongs at Woodbine. Over the course of three racing seasons, Not Bourbon earned more than one million dollars, and his outstanding three-year-old campaign was recognized with a Sovereign Award. Retired to stud, Not Bourbon went on to become a champion sire in Ontario, further cementing his legacy in the breeding shed. In 2020, he relocated to British Columbia, standing his first season at Emerald Acres in Aldergrove, before moving to Flying Horse Farm in West Kelowna, where he continued to make a meaningful contribution to the provincial breeding industry. Not Bourbon will be remembered for his talent as a racehorse and his contributions to breeding in both Ontario and British Columbia.
