Four new Thoroughbred stallions brings the total number of registered Ontario Sires to 42 for the 2022 breeding season.
“New stallions and bloodlines give Ontario breeders more diversity and opportunities locally to breed for the Ontario Sired incentive racing program,” said Peter Berringer, President of the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society, and Ontario Racing Thoroughbred Improvement Committee Member. “Breeders are the mainstay of the horse industry and new stallions are essential for Ontario breeders to have increased local opportunities and diversification for future successes in the sales ring and racing.”
ABARTA: The son of Into Mischief and Smart Strike mare Dame Marie qualified for the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Turf in 2020. Abarta will make his debut as a sire at Tara Horse Farm.
