There's no denying that the barrel horse industry has drastically grown over the years. A large portion of that is credited to the incentives that have been created.

These incentives are programs where stallion owners pay a fee for their stud to be enrolled, and in turn, their offspring are eligible for exclusive races or side pots once the foals are nominated. The incentives are usually limited to only a specific number of stallion slots; therefore, the demand is high.

One of the industry's newest incentives is The Diamond Classic. This incentive is limited to only 150 farm slots and 25 stallion station slots. The Diamond Classic differs from other incentives in the sense that stallion owners are not paying in per stallion, but their slot covers all their stallions, mares, and foals bred by their farm.

They also only require one foal nomination, not a yearly nomination, and the foal is eligible for life for all Diamond Classic events.

The Diamond Classic didn't stop there; they launched Diamond Classic Tack and Saddlery, their own line of horse tack, during the National Finals Rodeo.

"From the very beginning, we have had a vision for The Diamond Classic to be able to change the industry for the better. By launching Diamond Classic Tack and Saddlery, we are able to offer high-quality tack at reasonable prices," said Kinnon Peck, President and Creator of The Diamond Classic.

Riders will be able to get all the necessities for their equine athlete, including saddles, saddle pads, headstalls, breast collars, sport boots, fly boots, and much more. 

The opportunities that arise with the tack line go hand in hand with the incentive. Members of the incentive have discounts towards tack. Riders who purchase tack will also be able to earn free entries to Diamond Classic events across the country. 

"We know every dollar counts, so being able to give people the opportunity to run for added money for free by just purchasing the products they already use is a no-brainer," said Eric De La Rosa, Vice-President of The Diamond Classic.

Along with their line of tack, The Diamond Classic just recently announced their western clothing line that will be available soon.

This lucrative incentive has continued to grow and add phenomenal aspects for both slot owners and members alike.

They have truly taken great strides to provide not only a quality incentive but also quality products at reasonable prices. 

If you purchase $150 of Diamond Classic Tack products, you will earn a free circuit event entry. If you purchase a saddle and already have a nominated horse, you will receive a free Main Event entry. If you don't already have a nominated horse, you can choose to get a free nomination instead. For more information and terms and conditions, don't hesitate to contact The Diamond Classic.

Stay tuned because The Diamond Classic has even more in store, and not just for barrel racers.
