In an effort to stimulate
the equine industry and meet the needs of horse breeders
and owners alike, a group of professional, forward
thinking, horsemen and women from several Midwestern
states with a vision, have joined together to bring an
innovative multi breed futurity to the Midwest. A
dedicated group of individuals, Futurity Innovations,
LLC, agree that it is time to think outside the box.
With declining numbers in the show ring, they believe
the best way to promote horses in the
Midwest is to join forces, combining breeds to form a
strong futurity with longevity into the future,and at
the same time keep entry fees and showing cost minimal.
With the following
registries all being approved for exhibition, APHA, AQHA,
PtHA, IBHA, ABRA,
ApHC, AND PHBA, [including
all breeding stocks] this group has opened up an event
with almost limitless possibilities.
Support has been coming in at all levels with the
stallion
nominations reaching nearly 60 within 5 days of
announcing this innovative venture via this web site.
There is no club to join and tack stalls are free.
2007 stallion nominations are only $100 for eligibility in the Select
Classes. Then stallion’s get of 2007, 2006, 2005 are
eligible for all select classes. Select futurity
nomination fees are a low $100 per class [after stallion
is nominated].
The Jackpot Class entry is only $50 with no stallion nomination required.
Special division awards are being included as well and
added money is being sought out.
