Arabian Horse Breeders Association of Oregon

Oregon Two-Year-Old Halter Futurity

ELIGIBILITY
The owner of any Arabian mare registered with the Arabian Horse Registry of America may participate in the AHBAO Futurity by complying with these rules

OFFICIAL SHOW
The Arabian Horse Breeders Association of Oregon Spring Classic Horse Show held in April will be the official show for the AHBAO Futurity classes.  Entries MUST BE POSTMARKED OR RECEIVED by the CLOSING DATE FOR SHOW ENTRIES.  It is strongly recommended that the Futurity Certificate along with final payment be sent return-receipt- requested to the show secretary. 

THREE CLASSES
There will be three classes for the futurity, one each for 2-year-old colts, 2-year-old fillies, and 2-year-old geldings.  The first futurity will be held in 1964, then annually thereafter.  Entries in the Futurity class may enter the show's regular 2-year-old classes.  Winnings in the Futurity class do not make the entry eligible to compete for show championships.

ENTRY FORMS AND PAYMENT
Nomination forms may be obtained from the AHBAO Futurity chairperson or downloaded from www.AHBAOregon.com (click here).  Mail these entries, along with the fee payments, to the Futurity chairperson.  All checks should be made to the AHBAO Futurity.  Futurity Certificates will be provided for subsequent re-nomination use and for the Show Entry

REFUNDS
Refunds of initial fee (paid in the year of breeding) will be made only in the event of a foal being stillborn, or in the event the mare proved not to be in foal.  A veterinarian's statement should be sent to the Futurity chairperson, along with the Futurity certificate.

FEE DISBURSEMENT
Total monies, except for the cost of trophies, ribbons, and mailing costs, become prize money for the Futurity class.  The Futurity chairperson will maintain records for the Futurity

RULES

1.   The Futurity will be classed as an extra event, complete in itself.

2.   No Futurity win will make any horse eligible, on that win alone, for regional or national championship classes where a show championship or reserve championship is a qualification for entry.

3.   To be eligible for the Futurity honors and prize money, your entry only has to be shown one time, the year of the AHBAO Spring Classic when your entry is a two year old.  You may show your horse any time prior to, or for the first time, in the futurity class.

4.   In the event that a foal is sold before the Futurity class, Futurity eligibility is transferable to the new owner.  The seller should provide the entry certificate, and Futurity information, to the new owner.  The new owner must pay the fees when they come due to keep the horse eligible.

5.   Horses are to be shown under the current USEF rules for Arabian Horses.

6.   $50 ADDED TO EACH FUTURITY CLASS WITH ENTRIES AT SHOW TIME: Change effective in 2013.

7.   CLOSING DATE:  As soon as any fee in the schedule below becomes past due, that horse is no longer eligible for the futurity, and the owner forfeits any fees paid up to that time, except as noted below.  No horse can be made eligible for the futurity after foaling by payment of the entry fee.

8.   LATE PENALTY:  If a renomination fee deadline as shown below is missed, a penalty of $100, in addition to the renomination fee, will be accepted.  If more than one year's renomination is missed, $100 per renomination year missed must be paid to continue in the program (i.e. foaling and yearling year missed=late penalty of $200, plus renomination fees, or $230).  Also, a $100 penalty will be added if entry fee is not received by closing date of entries for futurity classes at the AHBAO Spring Classic Show.  If the penalty fee is not paid, the nominee will be dropped from the program without recourse.
