VMHA BREEDERS' FUTURITY

The Vermont Morgan Horse Association Breeder's Futurity has been created for VMHA members who have bred or own quality Morgan horses ages 3 and under. The purpose of the Futurity is to promote the use of Vermont stallions and mares in Morgan breeding programs both in state and outside of Vermont.  In order to be eligible to compete in the VMHA Breeder's Futurity the resulting foals must be the product of a parent owned or leased by a Vermont Resident, or be the offspring of a stallion or mare residing in Vermont.  We encourage the promotion of the resulting offspring at VMHA events such as the Vermont Spring Classic. It is also our hope to encourage the participation of owners, amateurs and jr. exhibitors; however, professional trainers will be allowed to assist or present the entries in all classes except where specifically prohibited by USEF rules.   In-hand and performance classes are offered with in-hand class winners receiving ribbons, points and prize money.   Performance class winners receive ribbons and points towards the Grand Championship that will conclude in the 3 year old year.   This is a terrific opportunity for you to show off your Morgan youngsters and make some money in the process.  If you are interested in knowing more about the VMHA Breeder's Futurity please read the Rules and Regulations link or contact Sarah Davis (802-878-6494) or email: smd3709@gmail.com with any questions.

The purpose of the Futurity is to promote the use of Vermont stallions and mares in Morgan breeding programs both in state and outside of Vermont, and to encourage the promotion of the resulting offspring at VMHA events. The VMHA Breeder's Futurity provides the opportunity for Futurity horses to compete in both In-Hand and Performance Classes. It is the intent of VMHA to encourage the participation of owners, amateurs and jr. exhibitors; however, professional trainers will be allowed to assist or present the entries in all classes except where specifically prohibited by USEF rules. VMHA intends to hold a stallion service auction each year as a partial funding source and promotion for the VMHA Breeder' s Futurity.  Any stallion whose service is donated and purchased through the VMHA Stallion Service Auction will be automatically nominated, and exempt from sire nominating fees, for the year in which the foal is born.  Likewise, any foal resulting from a breeding service purchased at the VMHA Stallion Service Auction is exempt from any weanling nominating fees. Futurity nominations are traditionally made soon after the foal is born. a href="documents/forms/nominationform2012.pdf">Breeders Futurity Nomination Form   Contact Sarah Davis (802-878-6494) or email: smd3709@gmail.com with any questions.
