Brian DygertHOST
Purse creation and the breeding component in you guys and under your leadership, because the cowhorses, when the breeding program to get the nomination of the studs, get the nomination of the offspring, and you led one of those programs, right? Yes.

Emily KonkelGUEST
Yeah, so we actually, NRCHA, it was in 2020, at the end of 2022, early 2023, we talked about revamping the cow horse incentive, which it was formerly the subscribed stallion program.

Emily KonkelGUEST
And it was a very simple program that the stallion paid in per year, and it was $1,000 a year.

Emily KonkelGUEST
And that seemed to work pretty well, but we were starting to see the rise of all of these new programs like the Ruby Buckle and the Pink Buckle and all of these incentives.
