Virginia Bred Program

Breed associations and discipline organizations in the Commonwealth of Virginia that demonstrate the skills and ability to conduct a viable program to promote Virginia horses—through competitive activities and futurities are eligible to participate in the program. Associations must also be a recognized chapter of their specific breed or discipline as approved by their national associations. Associations should also be registered with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. 

Applicants must demonstrate a proven ability and experience to carry out elements of the proposed project.  Those applicants proposing to rely on the expertise of another individual or organization to undertake any part of the project must clearly define the responsibilities of the party and provide evidence of that party’s ability to achieve that area of responsibility.
