I have a mare that is sweepstakes. My understanding
is that you can win $ for Arabs and half Arabs in the show ring and certain
other equestrian sports (endurance and NATRc). I remember one year
the IAHA was awarding placings to sweepstakes horses at Camp Far
West.....
I believe it allows you to enter some
endurance rides that are sanctioned by the breed associations and pay
prize money for placings. I'm a bit vague about it, too. Contact
Cory Soltau in CA and ask him. He's the one who persuaded me to
sweepstakes nominate our unborn foal by his stallion. He should be
able to explain it better than I.
