It's stallion auction season! Bidding for the WPRA Pro Elite Sire Incentive Stallion Auction opens TODAY October 10, 2026 at 12:00am MT and closes November 30, 2026 at 6:00pm MT.

The WPRA Pro Elite Sire Incentive (PESI) program rewards stallion owners, offspring owners, and breeders every time a horse succeeds at PESI-approved events. Built with the rodeo horse in mind, PESI is one of the few incentive programs that covers futurity, derby, open jackpots, and professional rodeo. The annual auction, added in 2019, lets stallion owners donate a breeding. Owners may also enroll as reference stallions by paying a yearly fee.

PESI helps market stallions to a wide audience while paying bonus money to stallion owners for winning offspring. Offspring owners earn bonuses for competing and placing at approved events, and breeders are rewarded for choosing enrolled stallions. Proceeds support the overall program and add value across the barrel racing and rodeo industries.

Thirty years ago, we met Terry and Andrea Byer through the horses. 🐴

Not long after that, they helped us purchase our very first home in Rutledge, Georgia.

Our friendship grew from there. From hauling to horse shows, raising kids and a whole lot of horses in between, there are a lot of great memories from those years.

Terry is in heaven now, but he will always be a big part of those memories. ❤️

Way back in 1999, they trusted us to build the first website for Byer Realty. And now, all these years later, we just finished a beautiful new site for Andrea.

That's what makes this one so special.

It's not really about a website.

It's about people who came into our lives because of horses and became lifelong friends. ❤️

Go take a look at Andrea's beautiful new site!

"BUY IT NOW" stallions now available for the NSBA Stallion Auction!

The NSBA Stallion Service Auction is more than just an opportunity to access premier stallions at a competitive rate—it’s a vital funding mechanism for one of NSBA’s cornerstone programs: the Incentive Fund.

How It Works
Each year, generous stallion owners donate a breeding to the NSBA Stallion Service Auction. These breedings are then made available for public purchase through the online auction, which opens annually on October 1. When you purchase a breeding through the auction, you’re not only securing a top-quality sire for your mare—you’re directly investing in the Incentive Fund.

What the Auction Supports
Proceeds from the sale of each donated breeding go directly into the NSBA Incentive Fund, which rewards enrolled horses for points earned in NSBA-approved classes. This unique model provides lifetime earnings potential for enrolled horses and helps grow participation in NSBA events across the country.

Complimentary Foal Enrollment
A major benefit for those who purchase a breeding through the Stallion Service Auction is a complimentary foal enrollment for the resulting foal into the Incentive Fund.

Somebody bid on your stallion three weeks ago and has not thought about it since.

At 6:49 an email lands. They have been outbid.

Your auction closes at seven.

They are at a ball game. Phone at eleven percent. They never see it.

That last bid you did not get? It was not a money problem. They just were not LOOKING!
