Manalapan, NJ — As part of the 2016 Renaissance Incentive Program, the SBOANJ will pay up to a $400 rebate to those mares that qualified for the program. The office will rely on the USTA foal registrations to verify that the mare foaled in New Jersey. Your foal must be registered by Oct. 15, in order to receive the rebate.

Part Two of the Renaissance program is for foals of mares bred to the New Jersey stallions Great Vintage, Lis Mara, Rock N Roll Heaven and Trixton in 2016. The SBOANJ will rebate up to 25 percent of the paid stud fee, maximum of $1,500. The mare does not need to reside in New Jersey.

Applications are due Aug. 10. Applications with an explanation of requirements are on our website.
