HATS OFF TO GELDINGS

In 2022, the Gelding Incentive returns! The incentive kicked-off in 2020 with more than 40 supporters donating to the incentive that is paid out to geldings showing under both Non Pro and Open exhibitors at the Snaffle Bit Futurity. The gelding must be registered with its breed association as a gelding in order to qualify.

To enter the Open division at the Futurity, a $400 entry fee is required and 90 percent goes to the jackpot. The purse will increase based on entries in the division. Non Pro riders pay a $200 entry fee with 90 percent going to the jackpot. The payout is made according to NRCHA rule 10.5.2.
