In today's performance horse world, a stallion's value isn't just built in the breeding shed—it's built in the earnings reports. Cutting, barrel racing and reining have grown their influence and market value by simply documenting and promoting what their horses earn. If we want rope horses to stand shoulder to shoulder with those industries, we have to show the money. Team roping produces $120 Million in payoffs each year and only shows $20 Million at AQHA’s QData.
Earnings are the cornerstone of the Riata Stallion Incentive effort. There are two ways you may track your earnings. A weblink is being built in the next few months that will allow ropers winning on 1) Riata rope horses and 2) National Rope Horse Rewards horses, to go online and select which of their horses won at events using the Gems roping software.
We strongly encourage every roper riding a Riata to go online and report your earnings from all the major jackpots, increasing your horse's value, the value of their pedigree, and the value of the breeding program from which they came. That is what the Riata Incentive is all about, elevating the rope-horse business to the level of the other horse disciplines with the tremendous amount of money available to team roping horses.
We accept winnings from World Series of Team Roping events, USTRC events, World Series PPQ, National Team Roping events, and National Team Roping League events. All earnings associated with Riata Side Pots will automatically be reported by Riata.
