Next Gen Breeders Program
Investing in the future of the sport and the horses that will define it
The Breeders Program is being built around a simple belief: the next generation of riders can only succeed if the next generation of horses, and the breeders producing them, are also supported.
Through network access, structured evaluation, board feedback, and rider placement support, the program is designed to help create clearer pathways and stronger outcomes for breeders and the horses they are producing.
Registered breeders take advantage of:
Eligibility for cash awards and recognition at local and global events
Reduced carrying and development cost pressure through stronger coordination, partnerships, and access to the NGP network
Twice yearly optional evaluation by the NGP board in-person or via video
Town Halls, webinars, clinics, and direct access to our breeders committee and events
Participation in industry advocacy for breeders
Opportunities to be paired with NGP’s riders of the future
Rewards and Recognition
Breeder Prizes on Bigger Stages
NGP plans to create standout recognition moments with monetary awards at select shows to spotlight the breeders behind exceptional horses.
A Marquee Prize in the Making
A flagship breeder prize is being developed around the sport’s biggest championship outcomes.
Built to Reward the Right Approach
The focus is long-term potential, thoughtful production, and meaningful achievement at the highest level.
How it Works
Participating breeders enroll their foals through 7-year-olds into the NGP database
Horses may be formally presented at twice annual opportunities, alongside x-rays, twice annually to the NGP board for review and feedback.
Following board review, selected horses may enter a defined development period, at breeder’s discretion, with breeder-approved riders and partnership structures explored where appropriate.
Breeders will always maintain full control and final say over their horses.
The Opportunity for Breeders
Stronger Development for Young Horses

Access to the Right Riders
Breeders gain access to the full NGP rider database, including Futures Program riders, to help identify aligned long-term partnerships.
More Defined Routes Forward
