The Rope Horse Rewards program
officially launched with its first major payout of free money on March 16.
Paying out $50,250 to January and February winners and the momentum is
building.
Early participation was
exactly what was anticipated: smaller numbers, bigger opportunity. That meant
significantly better odds for those already earning checks. For example, Earl
Higgins - the King, has dominated Arizona's senior ropings this winter and
collected 17 winning checks across the two months. Still, the majority of
payouts went to ropers with just one win.
Here's where the payout for
Jan and Feb can get even better:
The non-owner winner earns $1,000 with a registered horse—and is eligible for an
additional $250 AQHA level payout by transferring the horse into their name
within 30 days.
More competitors are entering.
More money is on the table. And the early advantage won't last long.
Don't miss your
opportunity—the next drawing for March will take place on April 15!
