Junior Stallion Program

1. A junior stallion is one that does not have foals of competition age. Competition age will be defined as 5 years old for the purpose of this program.

2. A senior stallion is one that has foals of competition age or is of competition age himself.

3. A junior stallion may designate ONE senior stallion to stand in their spot until the junior stallions first foal crop reaches its 5 year old year.

4. Once a senior stallion is declared it may not be changed out.

5. A senior stallion can be any stallion, waitlisted or not, that meets the rules of enrollment of the program.

6. A senior stallions manager/owner must give their permission to use their stallion in place of the junior stallion.

7. If a junior stallion wishes to run in the Homegrown Classic himself, he must not have a senior stallion standing in for him.

8. Once senior stallions are dropped from a junior stallions spot, they can not replace that same junior stallion again.

9. Senior stallions may retain their waitlist place while being substitute for a junior stallion.

10. A junior stallion may not drop a senior stallion from their spot until after the current years Homegrown Classic events have concluded.

11. Senior stallions must be nominated by March 1st of that current calendar year to be eligible to take the Junior stallions place. Any Junior stallion not selecting a senior stand in by that time will forfeit their stand in for that year.

12. A senior stallion does not have the right to keep a spot in the Homegrown Classic. They are simply a substitute for a junior stallion until that junior stallions first foal crop reaches 5 years or age or the senior stallion is dropped, whichever happens first.

13. A senior stallion may only stand in for one junior stallion per year. They must be dropped before they can be a substitute for a different junior stallion the next year.

14. There is no buying/selling/trading of spots in the Homegrown Classic. This is a program that utilizes a wait list and follows that list no matter what. Zero exceptions.

15. Stallions must be currently enrolled in the Homegrown Classic Incentive for any of their offspring to be eligible to run.

16. Homegrown Classic pays out the original stallion spot owner during The BLITZ. If you are using a senior stallion stand in that you do not own please inform the owners/managers of this and you may decide amongst yourselves how you will handle any payout that may come from their stallions progeny.

He has shown a lot of natural smarts and ability on a cow. He has unlimited potential to go in any direction.

Metallics Little Cat

2021 Red Roan Stallion by Metallic Cattack x Smartys Little Ace

"Kit Kat" may be little, but packs a dynamite combination of attributes! If you are looking to add some body and catty moves to you mare, this is your guy! At the beginning of 2023 Kit Kat suffered a catastrophic injury and to the surpise of multiple vets, he not only pulled through but did so in record time! He recovered from a collapsed lung, fluid in his chest, multiple broken ribs, and severe lacerations from shoulder to hip. If there is one thing this young stud is not lacking, it is sheer will. He is one tough cooke and recovered from all that in under a months time. He is so quiet natured but obviously has tenacity and spirit. The injuries had sidelined our plans of showing him, but AER Performance Horses is doing their best to get him into the arena yet! Don't pass him over for your speed mares, either! A lot of the top horses in the industry are cow bred on top. Blazin Jetolena, Frenchmans Guy, and A Smooth Guy (cow top and bottom) just to name a few! These crosses have dominated the industry and will continue to do so in the years to come.
