ABRA Leasing Options for Horse Showing & Breeding
ABRA Horse Leasing Program – Showing & Breeding Opportunities
The American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) offers leasing options for members who want to participate in showing and breeding without owning a horse. Our leasing program allows exhibitors and breeders to lease registered ABRA horses in approved colors including Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun, Grulla, Dunalino, and Perlino with dun factor.
Leasing through ABRA opens doors for youth, amateurs, and breeders by expanding opportunities to compete, earn points, and enjoy the benefits of ownership without the long-term commitment. Whether your goal is showing in ABRA-approved events or breeding for quality dun-factor foals, our program ensures that every leased horse remains fully recognized in ABRA records.
By leasing, members gain access to unique equine colors while promoting the growth of our registry. Explore ABRA’s leasing options today and take part in celebrating the beauty, versatility, and heritage of these distinctive horses.
