The Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association/North American District is excited to announce the introduction of a new North American Breeding Futurity. In an effort to encourage mare owners and breeders to support and promote our North American born and bred horses, the futurity is designed to specifically reward North American breeding programs. Stallion nominations are from those stallion owners who donate a breeding to their stallion to the BWP/NAD's stallion service auction. The stallion service auction is the backbone to the Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association's financial bottom line and we are always grateful to participating stallion owners for their generosity. We believe that the futurity will encourage mare owners and breeders to take another look at the phenomenal line up of stallions available with the BWP/NAD and to encourage them to present their offspring to a registry that is progressive, acknowledges breeders and producsts some of the top performance horses in the world! The way the futurity works is that a stallion owner can nominate their stallion by simply donating a breeding to the Stallion Service Auction. If they choose not to donate a breeding, they can nominate the stallion by paying a $250 nomination fee. All offspring by that stallion born the following year will then be eligible for the futurity. Mare owners/breeders /foal owners can then nominate the foal for the futurity prior to being inspected for a nomination fee of $35. Foals will then also be judged at the time of inspection . At the end of the year , after all horses have been inspected and the scores compared, the top 10 placing foals will be announced. The stallion and foal owners will receive a portion of the payout from the futurity. As foals will already be prepped and at the inspection for registration, there is no additional expense to owners to have to travel to shows, pay stall fees, etc. and the results will be for nationally participating animals! The BWP/NAD is thrilled to have the opportunity to implement a program that rewards breeders for supporting domestic stallions as well as supporting a registry that is known for producing International and Olympic winners! |

WOW! Sounds like a great idea. I'm even more excited about getting my stallions approved BWP this year. |
