Futurity Rules:
1. The purpose of the MWHA Futurity is to encourage breeders to promote the continued improvement of the TWH. Showing your young horses is a great advertisement and as the word "Futurity" implies, it is an investment in the future of your young horses.
2. When first nominating a weanling in a Futurity, you are declaring your intention to show this horse through the Three- Year - Old division. Showing each year is at your option, but annual fees MUST BE PAID to keep the nomination current.
3. All horses nominated, i.e. sires, dams, fillies, colts, etc, must be registered with the TWHBEA.
4. All weanlings must be registered with TWHBEA within six months of birth or registration applied for by the date of the Futurity Horse Show.
5. See separate sheet for nomination forms and applicable nomination fees.
6. A weanling may be from any state as long as the MWHA Futurity Rules are satisfied.
7. A horse may be shown by either an amateur or a professional.
8. All horses must be owned by a paid member of MWHA.

Note: Three Year Old under saddle classes may also be open to entries not nominated into the MWHA Futurity. Futurity prizes will be awarded in the order in which nominated horses place in each class.
Nomination of Sire: To nominate a stallion in the MWHA Futurity the stallion must be registered in the TWHBEA stud book and appropriate fees have to be paid for the years that offspring are participating in. It is a good idea to nominate your stallion every year so that all offspring are eligible to participate.
Nomination of Dam: To nominate a mare in the MWHA Futurity the mare must be registed in TWHBEA.
Liability:
No entry is liable for more than the amount paid in to the Futurity Fund. There are no returns of payment. The MWHA reserves the right to reject any entry and to bar any entry from competition for failure to comply with all the conditions of the MHWA Futurity Rules.
