2017 Mare Of The Year

**2017 MARE OF THE YEAR** Statistically there are fewer mares winning reining classes than studs and geldings. This is even more pronounced at the elite Open classes. Quality mares are an essential part of a successful breeding programme, competitively proven mares even more so. Generally it is considered more difficult for a mare to out perform studs in elite reining competition, particularly in their 3 and 4 year old years. Those that do are exceptional and deserve special recognition.
