Founded by ranch owners Shane
Plummer and Logan Alley,
Legendary Stakes introduces a new era of competition and
connectivity between horse enthusiasts and the sports they
love—with the aim of distributing the largest annual purse in
the western performance horse industry.
Legendary Stakes is a transformative platform for Western
Performance Horse competitions, offering lifetime eligibility for
enrolled stallions and their offspring. By simplifying the entry
process and maximizing prize pools, it lets competitors, owners,
breeders, dam owners, and stallion owners enhance their careers and
gain unprecedented visibility in the community, while potentially
elevating the experience and the rewards beyond anything previously
imagined.
"We are proud to see such an impressive initial enrollment,
which underscores the Industry's enthusiasm and confidence in our
vision," said Shane Plummer,
co-founder of Legendary Stakes and owner of SDP Buffalo Ranch. "Our
vision is to decentralize and democratize the industry, making it
more accessible and engaging for every stakeholder, from riders to
breeders, dam and stallion owners."
Legendary Stakes operates on a simple yet effective model, with
participants paying a one-time discipline unlocking fee to compete
in up to 50 events per discipline, with up to 14 disciplines to
choose from. This approach not only maximizes participants' chances
to earn significant prize money—contributed directly from the
$250 entry fees to an ever-growing
annual purse—but also connects them with a global community
passionate about preserving and advancing the Western Performance
Horse legacy.
"The inspiration behind Legendary Stakes is rooted in profound
appreciation for the Western Performance Horse Industry, which is
filled with passionate individuals who compete, breed, and
celebrate the world's most thrilling equine sports," said
Logan Alley, co-founder of Legendary
Stakes and owner of Sandance Equine. "With deep respect for Western
heritage, we aimed to unite the diverse competitors, events, and
disciplines under one platform. Our vision is clear: to offer a
fresh perspective that integrates competition, enjoyment, and
earning potential through an advanced technology platform."
The platform is powered by the community of participants whose
entry fees directly contribute to the ever-growing annual prize
purse.
