2024 BHN Stallion Register

The Barrel Horse News Stallion Register, powered by EquiStat, will include the five-year statistics of Top 100 Barrel Racing Sires — stallions that have produced the highest-money earning offspring of the past five years. Similarly, we’ve included the Top 100 Futurity Sires and Top 100 Derby Sires. For the fourth year, we’ll include an exclusive look at the Top 100 Leading Barrel Racing Dams. For the second year in a row, we will also feature two Magic Cross charts. One our readers are familiar with that has been printed in previous Stallion Register books, the Top 30 5-Year Sires Magic Crosses shows the highest-earning magic crosses on the top 30 EquiStat 5-Year Leading Sires, ranked by the sire’s overall progeny earnings. The additional Magic Cross chart — the 5-Year Leading Magic Cross — will show the top overall magic crosses of the past five years, ranked by earnings from those crosses. The Magic Cross reports produced by EquiStat can be a particularly useful tool, showing which stallions have crossed successfully with certain maternal lines to produce money earners.

In editorial content, we take a special look at sexing embryos and how choosing the sex of your mare’s foal using sexed semen can be a useful option.
