Standardbred Canada (SC) is pleased to present more information regarding the launch of the new SC Stallion Spotlight, formerly known as the Stallion Registry.
Three packages are available for purchase, tailored to meet your needs or those of your farm, including:
- Mandatory Stallion Registration Fee ($100): This includes a listing in the Stallion Spotlight section of the website along with contact information, stud fee, a link to the breeding farm (if available), pedigree, and a list of stakes nominations. Those who advertise with SC (TROT magazine or website) also receive virtual mating at no extra charge (a minimum of $400 per year must be spent on advertising).
- Silver Package ($500): This includes all features from the Stallion Registration Fee plus a stallion picture and access to the virtual mating application.
- Gold Package ($1,000): This includes all of the above, plus multiple picture displays, embedded video, virtual mating, complete sire data, owner or agent statement, and future AI data additions. Advertisers receive a 25 per cent discount for those who advertise with SC (TROT magazine or website).
Once the annual stallion registration is finalized, stallions will appear in the Stallion Spotlight. This feature highlights stallions available for breeding throughout Canada this year. It provides the stallion's contact details, along with a link to the breeding farm (if applicable). You will also find the stud fee and pedigree information for each stallion.
Once you have clicked on the stallion's profile in the Stallion Spotlight, you will find additional information, such as stakes nomination eligibility. This may include programs such as the Breeders Crown and provincial Sires Stakes or any other stakes the stallion owner has made his stallion eligible for before breeding.
Virtual mating applications can also be found on the stallion’s profile, allowing users to enter their mare's name or any mare to see how well they cross with a specific stallion. This tool helps determine whether the foal would be inbred, line-bred or an outcross. Full sire data, owner or agent statements (if available), and pictures and videos (if available) are now accessible to breeders and stallion owners through the Stallion Spotlight.
Users can also search by specific topics in the Stallion Spotlight, such as province, gait, farm name (starting with A to Z), stud fee range, stallion name (starting with A to Z), sire of stallion, or by typing their name into the search bar. For example, if you searched for trotters in Ontario with a stud fee between $7,500 and $9,999, you would see the three stallions that meet those criteria.
The registration deadline is Jan. 31 of the current breeding season. For example, the deadline for the 2026 breeding season is Jan. 31, 2026.
Stallion registration is available online via the SC website's Eshop or by filling out the registration form and emailing it to [email protected].
