QSTALLIONS.COM A BREEDERS DREAM COME TRUE

By Sharee LaRue [information gathered from AQHA sources]

AQHA has developed a website for owners to research performance records for stallions and their progeny in performance, pleasure/hunt seat, halter or timed events [roping, barrel racing, pole bending, etc.] Not only can you research stallions to breed your mare to, but you can also track her top and bottom side and see how a certain cross on bloodlines has performed. The platform also works for stallion owners that are selecting mares to bolster their breeding programs.

The website, QStallions.com [QS], is updated every week making for current and accurate stats. Performance records are important, but so are five-panel testing, enrolled incentives, cross pedigrees, and more. The site provides

• 10-generation pedigree

• Five-panel genetic test results

• Sire summary

• Catalog pedigree

• Photos

• Performance record

• Nicking report

The data base is searchable by

• Name

• Sire

• Dam

• Dam sire

• Owner

• Five-cross pedigree

• Nick your mare

• Video links

• Current-year activity

• Sire statistics

• Top performers

• Foal eligibility

• Stud fee

• State

Judge cash

• Discipline

The cutting-edge site is also a way for stallion owners to market their stallion. Marketing, in this digital age, has become a complicated and expensive endeavor. Countless marketing areas from events, print, social media, and incentives have made for a quagmire of the unknown. QS provides it all in one spot. Yes, owners still need to use other platforms, but those platforms can direct mare owners straight to the most up to date information on the market, saving time and promoting an inclusive database for each stallion. Imagine print ads, flyers, and banners being more dynamic with photos and a QR code to their QS website page. Social media posts just became short and sweet and to the point. Just use photo, name, sire and dam, lifetime earnings [progeny and stallion] and your QS link! The less words in a post, the more likely your target audience is to read it.

Before QS, owners spent money, and countless hours, collecting information from several platforms to make the best selection they could to promote their progeny as the best in the business for their discipline.
