If the horse is sired by any other stallion and out of an Accredited Ontario Broodmare, it will be designated Ontario Bred. If you are already breeding your mares to produce Quarter Horse race horses, or if you are interested in joining this Program, the details of the Development Program and how to gain accreditation for your broodmares, stallions and offspring can be found at

earned by fillies competing in the Princess Stakes races. Based on performance in these races, a cer- tificate in the amount of $4,000 or $6,000 was issued to the filly, redeemable by the current owner, upon having successfully produced an Ontario Bred foal. While the stakes race was dis- continued in 2013, there are currently 96 fillies that have not had their certificate(s) redeemed. This has occurred for a variety of reasons includ- ing that the mare is still racing or not considered good breeding stock. The change will allow an owner of an eligible filly to transfer and use the incentive to produce an Ontario Bred out of another mare that they own. In its submission for the change, the QROOI cited the need to stimulate the Ontario breeding industry in order to ensure future racing stock.
