The Roan To Riches (R2R) program is comprised of a Roan To Riches Stallion Service Sale and Roan To Riches Futurity. Roan To Riches is property of the American Roan Horse Association (ARHA). Its mission is to promote the breeding of roan horses of AQHA, APHA and ApHC bloodlines, and to offer a futurity showcase and increased earning potential for exhibitors and their roan horses.

The Roan To Riches Stallion Service Sale is the annual sale of discounted breeding services of R2R nominated stallions. Stallions become nominated to the R2R by the donation of one breeding service. All proceeds from the annual R2R Stallion Service Sale go toward the annual R2R Futurity purse and program.

No. Any AQHA, APHA or ApHC stallion can be nominated by simply donating one breeding to the program, to be sold through the R2R Stallion Service Sale at 50% of the base stud fee, or $400, whichever is greater. Whether the breeding sells or not, the nominated stallion and all offspring of the nominated stallion become futurity eligible for the designated nomination year, providing they are ARHA registered.

Any ARHA registered Roan or Roan Bred Solid nominated stallion, or any ARHA registered Roan or Roan Bred Solid offspring of nominated stallions, are eligible for entry in the R2R Futurity of the enrollment year.
