Suzette,
I'm not sure on the #'s. If memory serves there are around 200 members. I'm not sure on the other stats...Judy likely knows if she's watching this thread. I'm heading out for Halloween with the kids, but will see what I can find later tonight.
As of now there are no stallion performance requirements, but generally the competeing stallions get more breedings. And approvals can be withdrawn if the quality of the foals is not up to par. Inspectors have a pretty good idea of the quality of the foal crop from year to year as they brand as many foals as possible. So they get to see first hand what the 'Boys' are putting on the ground. There are also a minimum of 2 inspectors at mare inspections, which appeals to me as a mare owner.
