SSP
The NRHA Germany Stallion Service Program (SSP) was changed in important parts at the 2016 Annual General Meeting by resolution of the membership. Below is a brief summary of the most important changes and nomination periods for stallions and horses/foals. For all details like nomination fees, nomination periods and eligibility of the SSP please read the respective conditions of the corresponding SSP year.
Stallions no longer need to be nominated for their offspring to be eligible to compete in the Breeders Futurity and Breeders Derby, but horses/foals must be nominated.
The nomination fee of horses/foals as offspring of stallions that are nominated is lower than the nomination fee of offspring of non-nominated stallions.
For offspring of non-nominated stallions born in 2018 or earlier, a transitional rule applies. These horses can start at the 3-year old, 4-year old Breeders Futurity or at the Breeders Derby for a post-nomination fee of 1.000,00€ per start but maximum 3.000,00€ in addition to the respective valid entry fees.
The changes of the NRHA Germany SSP are valid from the SSP year 2017.

Foal Nomination Program. In order to enter in the Breeders Futurity for three-year olds, from 2022 all horses must be nominated in the SSP.
In order to enter in the Breeders Futurity for four-year olds, from 2023 all horses must be nominated in the SSP.
In order to enter in the Breeders Derby 2024, all horses must be nominated in the SSP as follows:
A transitional arrangement is provided for offspring of non-nominated stallions born in 2018 or before. Those horses can be entered in the 3 and 4yo Breeders Futurity or 5yo & up Breeders Derby by paying a late nomination fee of 1,000.00€. The late nomination fee applies for every single event and is additional to all regular entry fees. As an alternative to the late fee of €1,000.00 per event, the eligibility for all future Breeders Derbies can be acquired by paying a one-time post nomination fee of €3,000.00. Late fees per event that have already been paid will be offset against the one-time post-nomination fee.
