stopwatch

Time's running out....But it's not gone yet!

 

The NILE Horse Futurity "early" entry deadline is fast approaching. "Early" entries are due August 1, 2013 at the reduced rate.

 

The NILE Gold Buckle Sale Horse Futurity "Early" entry deadline has been extended to August 1, 2013.   This applies to ALL NILE Horse Futurities: Yearling, Snaffle Bit Two-Year-Old, Three-Year-Old, Barrel Futurity, and new for 2013 the Four-Year-Old Futurity.

 

Stallions may be nominated for the Three-Year-Old, Barrel Futurity, and the Four-Year-Old Futurity. A stallion nomination allows any horse sired by that stallion to compete in the respective futurity that the stallion was nominated for.

 

Currently, there are four stallions nominated for the NILE Barrel Futurity.  They include: Frenchman's Bullet owned by Bud and Sandy Williams of Volborg, Montana; Midnight Corona, owned by Askin/Jordan Partners of Bozeman, Montana; Prime Talent owned by Copper Spring Ranch of Bozeman, Montana; and  Zan Parrs Poco owned by Doug & Lavetta Weeding of Jordan, Montana.

 

Additionally, there is one stallion nominated for the Three-Year-Old Futurity, Stylish Tip owned by Nate and TJ Wald of Lodge Grass, Montana. Zipanic, owned by Chad Fink of Hysham, Montana is nominated for the Four-Year-Old Futurity.

 

Exhibiting in the Futurities is a great way to showcase your horse and breeding program, especially if the horse will be sold through one of the NILE sales later in the week.  Futurity entries made between August 2 and October 1 will be subject to higher entry fees.
