WHAT IS A FUTURITY?
A Futurity is a prize program for young horses, which awards purses made up of the
entry fees paid over a period of time by participants.
The ASHB Futurity of Tennessee actually consists of three separate Futurities, the
Tennessee Futurity which is open to professional trainers, amateur and juvenile
exhibitors showing weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds; the Tennessee Amateur
Futurity which is open to amateur and juvenile exhibitors showing weanlings, yearlings,
and twoyear-olds; and the Tennessee 3-Year-Old Futurity which is open to professional
trainers, amateur and juvenile exhibitors showing 3-year-olds.
Nomination in the futurity begins with the weanling year and in order to maintain
eligibility to show in the Futurity, fees must be paid each year to keep the entry
nominated for the particular divisions. For entries in the weanling division, fees must also
be paid to nominate the sire and dam.
PURPOSE
Futurities are held to encourage the breeding and showing of American Saddlebred
horses. Showing a foal in a Futurity enhances its value and increases its earning
potential; the value of the sire and dam may also be enhanced through the success of
their progeny shown in the Futurities. Amateurs and juveniles, as well as professionals,
have the opportunity to show young horses in Futurities. The experience should be
entertaining, to both the audience and participants, and should present the American
Saddlebred at its best, providing an opportunity for fun, competition and good
sportsmanship.
