Piedmont Paso Fino Futurity News

Become a part of the Piedmont Breeders' Futurity!
Many people ask what a futurity is. By definition a "futurity" is a future condition or event. Applied to the horse industry, a futurity is a show that will happen in the future. Horse futurities are common to many breeds on a regional or national level and usually offer large cash awards and/or prizes and trophies. In general, futurities must be entered while the horse to be entered is still very young or in some cases even before the horse is born. Stallion owners pay for a stallion to be nominated so that his offspring may compete for the resulting prize money in the futurity classes.

Founded in 1992, the Piedmont Breeders' Futurity includes over 60 of the finest aand most famous stallions in the breed. The Futurity has become a showcase for the offspring of the most valuable breeding stock in the Paso Fino industry. Over $175,000 has been awarded since the first classes were held in 1993. The Futurity is held in conjunction with the Piedmont Classic Horse Show each June in Asheville, NC.

Entry and Nomination Info
Entry or nomination into the Futurity is open to any Paso Fino Horse Association member and to any registered Paso Fino that is sired by one of the futurity-nominated stallions. The Futurity classes include: Yearling Conformation (Fillies, Colts & Geldings), Four Year Old Schooling Classes (Fillies, Colts & Geldings) & Geldings (5 year olds) – Pleasure, Performance and Fino.

Once a horse is nominated into the futurity program, it can show in its appropriate classes with payment of a small declaration fee. Nominations must be received by June 11th in order to show in that year, but stallions and offspring can be nominated any time and need only to be nominated once. The Futurity current fees are:

STALLION NOMINATIONS:
Breeding Colts & Stallions (One time fee) $1,000

OFFSPRING NOMINATIONS:
(Must be sired by Piedmont Futurity Stallions)

2006 Yearling Fillies, Colts & Geldings $150
2004 Two Year Old Fillies, Colts & Geldings $250
2003 Three Year Old Fillies, Colts & Geldings $350
2002 Four Year Old Fillies, Colts & Geldings $450
2001 Five Year Old Geldings $550
*2007 Class Declaration Fee (Declares Class entered) $50

The Piedmont Futurity continues to grow. See the Futurity Stallion listing below and a new June 2008 nomination form [.doc file]. Any offspring from a nominated stallion is eligible to enter the Futurity Classes and, once nominated, each horse can show until its eligibility is finished. Futurity classes are shown at Asheville, along with regular show classes during the Saturday/Sunday show. Remember, the deadline for 2008 is June 11th for horses to show in the current show year Futurity. Don’t miss this opportunity to win extra money at Asheville! If you have any questions, email Jerry Dotson jkdotson1@charter.net.

When making your breeding plans, consider these stallions whose offspring can show in the futurity and win money. Offspring of many of these stallions are also eligible to compete in the Breeders Sweepstakes at Nationals so you can have several chances to win additional prize money.

+ Stallion owners can take advantage of placing their Stallion in Piedmont's Stallion Row on this website for added exposure. Click on the Stallion link to see more about featured Futurity stallions. See rates under Advertising.

The Futurity trophies are donated in honor of Dr.Vickie Newell, veterinary extraordinaire, of Greystone Veterinary Service, Clemmons, NC.

The following stallions are nominated into the Piedmont Futurity
