IRT Stallion Guide

Harness Breeders Victoria are the publishers of the IRT Australasian Standardbred Stallion Guide, an annual catalogue of sires available to Australian breeders in the coming season.

The 2024 edition of the IRT Australasian Standardbred Stallion Guide will again be available both as an interactive online edition as well as in print. Hard copies will start to reach eligible breeders’ mail boxes from early August. As with the last few years, please be patient - ongoing staffing issues across the country continue to impact on supply chains and postal services.

How to get a print copy of the 2024 Stallion Guide

Hard copies are mailed direct to all full HBV members, plus any registered owner of a broodmare which has been active in the last two seasons (one per household).

There are three ways of obtaining a printed edition if you do not meet these criteria:

• Become a member of HBV - apply and pay for your 2024 HBV Membership and a copy will be automatically sent to you (best value - you get all the other benefits of membership!)

• Collect a copy from your state HQ or in Victoria, HRV or Secretary Offices at Ballarat, Bendigo, Melton, Shepparton, Geelong or Cranbourne (limited copies only)

• If you don’t wish to access the great value benefits of membership, you can send your details with $14.00 to cover postage and handling ($28 for NZ addresses, POA for other locations) to HBV via email (contact@hbv.org.au) or post PO Box 406, EPSOM VIC 3551.

Payment methods include cheque, credit card or EFT (details can be found on the membership form).

Information for Advertisers

Information on booking your stallion or business to feature in the 2024 edition will be available soon. An email will be sent to the existing database and links on our social media channels. If you want to reach thousands of Australasian breeders directly, the Guide is the 100% guaranteed way of doing it. Victorian breeders alone spend over $62M in producing each season's crop - make sure your stallion, product or service is front of mind when breeders across the hemisphere start making decisions. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list for information about opening of advertising bookings, please let us know.
