Futurities
A Beginners Guide

Every year the ESPHC (Empire State Paint Horse Club, the state representative of APHA) runs a SSA (Stallion Service Auction). What this means is that stallion owners nominate their studs by donating their stud fee to the club - people buy the breeding service for 60% with the ESPHC receiving the money and then the winner pays normal fees (booking fee, mare care and/or AI fees) to the owner.

The result is that people can get breeding rights for a greatly reduced cost to excellent stallions. All babies have to be Paint registerable (so there are TB, QH and Paint stallions in the SSA but you have to cross appropriate horses to register as paint).

The benefit to the stallion owner is that ALL of the babies produced by breedings from the nomination year are eligible for the Open Futurities held in the fall, even if they are purchased outside of the ESPHC structure. The babies can compete in halter weanling, the next year in longe line, and the year after in snaffle. These events are limited to JUST the babies from this select group of stallions that were nominated for that year so the events are quite exclusive. There is also a large payback for placing in them.

There are also the Closed Futurity events. These are only open to those who won the SSA and the stallion owner's baby from that year. So this is even more exclusive with an even higher payback.

The point of futurities is to advertise the breeding capabilities of farms - mares and stallions alike - and show how amazing your farm's offspring are. By showing one foal you demonstrate competance in your stallion and mare selection and therefore are also advertising your other foals as well. Thus it is a great opportunity for anyone who breeds horses.
