OREGON PINTO HORSE ASSOCIATION FUTURITY"We are at a time within our breed that the future can be shaped. Our future can be whatever we dream it to be."

OPtHA Futurity has paid out in cash/prizes nearly 40,000.00 in the past four years. We continue to grow as word gets out, which in turn increases the payout for entries. This program showcases our Pinto bloodstock in the format they where bred for. Our Futurity is an "Open" Futurity which does not require nomination before birth to enter your class. This allows you to enter your Pinto anytime from weanling to 5 years, giving them the opportunity to be showcased within the Pinto showring building their future as a Pinto show horse.

OPtHA Futurity is featured annually at the OPtHA Summer Spectacular (first weekend of August) and the OPtHA Poor Pumpkin Shows (3rd Weekend of October) held at the Linn County Fairgrounds in Albany, Oregon. The Futurity classes are open to ALL (weanling ~ 5 years) registered Pintos, 2010 is our first year of offering limited Breeding Stock classes for ALL types in both Halter and Performance. 

We are very excited about the future of this program and for Pintos in the Northwestern Region.

There are no nomination fees, simply enter the class of your choice. All entry fees are put in the purse for a 90% (10% retained for office fees) payout. Our Sponsorship packages offer additonal cash/prize incentives to the payout purses for each class as well.

Your class will run even if only one entry has been registered for the class, there is a “no combine” clause in our futurity.

OPtHA Futurity encompasses several different disciplines that display the versatility of the Pinto horse or Pony. Halter, Longeline, Western Pleasure, English pleasure and Driving classes will be available to those wanting to add “Futurity Winner” to their Pinto’s résumé.

A full slate of halter classes will yield the top colts, geldings and fillies that will compete in the Champion of Champion class (which has an additional purse) to hold the honor of being the OPtHA Futurity Supreme Halter Champion.

All Futurity classes will payback to exhibitors on a sliding scale.
 

OPtHA Halter Futurity Classes will be held on July 31st 2010 during the OPtHA Summer Classic
