Wild Rose Draft Horse Futurity
The Wild Rose Draft Horse Futurity is a program designed to showcase the best young horses in North America. Fillies, colts, and geldings (foals of the current year), are eligible for nomination providing they will be registered, or notified, with their American or Canadian Breed Registries, and the owner is a member of the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association. The Breeder does not have to register the animal, the owner may do this as long as they are a member of the WRDHA.
In order to become eligible for the Futurity, foals must be nominated by the Annual General Meeting of the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association which is held on the first Saturday in February, for a nomination fee of $50.00. If they are not registered yet the dam and sire must be stated. A copy of their registration papers will be required upon entry of the yearling or 2 year old classes. Once a horse is nominated into the Futurity, they are eligible to be entered as a yearling, or as a 2 year old, or both. Owners may choose to miss the yearling year and enter the 2 year old year, or vice versa, without penalty.
If the horse is sold, the nomination into the Futurity goes with the horse, and they may still be entered by the new owner providing the appropriate transfer of ownership has been made and the new owner is a member of the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association. If the animal is owned by multiple owners, then one owner must be a member of the WRDHA.
