The purchase price of the mare must be $5,000 or more. For the purposes of this program, purchases in U.S. funds will be considered at par, i.e., $1 USD = $1 CND.

•If an individual, the applicant must have been resident in Alberta for at least one year prior to the date of the purchase of the mare;
•If a partnership, all partners must be individuals that have been resident in Alberta for at least one year prior to the date of the purchase of the mare;
•Mares must be purchased in a sales ring at a recognized public auction held outside of Alberta. Mares who do not reach their reserve price or for which no bid is received, do not qualify;
•All mares purchased must have ownership transferred directly from the sales company to applicant and/or applicants (no third-party transfers of ownership in part or whole with the exception of using an agent). If an agent is used to purchase the mare, proof of formal appointment of the agent must be provided.
