INP REGULATION
The IRHBA Nomination Program, briefly referred to as "I.N.P.", is the breeding program managed by IRHBA with the aim of contributing to the prize pool of the IRHA special events reserved for horses eligible under the program.
The amount generated from the Nomination, excluding any surcharges applied to registration fees beyond the amount of the first deadline, will be entirely paid to IRHA for the purpose mentioned above.
ELIGIBILITY FOR THE 3 Y. O. FUTURITY – 4 Y. O. FUTURITY – 5/8 Y. O. DERBY

Horses sired by stallions nominated for the respective breeding season or individually nominated horses can participate.
At the IRHA/IRHBA 4 Y.O. Futurity:

Horses nominated for the Derby Nomination can participate.
Please note: From 2027 there will be only one Derby reserved for registered horses.

ALLOCATION OF I.N.P. REVENUES
Starting from the 2026 year:
The net amount generated from the stallion and foal nominations of the previous year will be allocated among the 3 Y.O. Futurity, 4 Y.O. Futurity, and 5/8 Y.O. Derby.
BREEDER INCENTIVE AWARD
Starting from the 2027 Derby, the 2028 3 Y.O. Futurity, and the 2029 4 Y.O. Futurity, the horse's Nominator, whether an individual or a company, will receive an incentive award equal to 5% of the prize money earned by the nominated horse.
The award is non-transferable and will be paid by bank transfer, provided that the amount is equal to or greater than €50.00 and that the Nominator supplies IRHBA with all the required and accurate information.
Starting with the 2028 3 Y.O. Futurity, the complimentary Futurity entry previously granted for one offspring of each stallion enrolled in the corresponding Nomination Program will be discontinued.
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
The registration of the membership fee and the enrollment of stallions and foals must be carried out on-line, with payment made via PayPal or instant bank transfer.
Exceptionally
the registration of the membership fee and the enrollment of stallions and foals can be carried out off-line. In this case, it is necessary to download the registration form from the website, complete it, and send it to the IRHBA Secretariat, attaching the required documents and the receipt of the instant bank transfer made. An office charge is also applicable of: € 20.00 for each membership, € 50.00 for each new stallion, € 25.00 for each already registered stallion, and € 25.00 for each foal.
In case of any errors (e.g., missing membership, incorrect amount, missing or illegible data), the registration will be held in suspension for a maximum of 30 days. If the issue is not resolved within this period, the registration request will be cancelled, and any payments made will be refunded by IRHBA.
For all the aforementioned reasons, offline registration is discouraged.
If a payment is cancelled by the bank or PayPal, the corresponding registrations and the receipt issued by IRHBA will be automatically voided.
Deadlines are strict; the date of the final payment transfer will determine the registration costs.
A bank transfer can be conveniently replaced by a PayPal/Credit card payment, with a direct debit from the payer's bank account, without the credit card limits.
Substitutions of registered stallions or foals are not allowed.
To register horses in the I.N.P., you must be a current member of IRHBA. The annual membership fee is € 50.00.
