There was lots of excitement in the World Morgan Futurity this year with well filled classes and superb quality in abundance. The AMHA-WMF Auction Rewards were presented to two lucky entries. The Auction bonus is $10,000 in additional Futurity money that goes to the first horse that is a direct result of the AMHA-WMF SSA and wins a World Morgan Futurity class.
Last year, the first class of horses that were eligible for this reward reached their third year. Stand And Tribute won the rewards by topping the Three Year Old Western Pleasure Futurity class. This year, the Auction Bonus went to the Yearling Gelding Futurity World Champion, WNDC National Treasure, shown by Jim Taylor for Windcrest Farms. Claudia Grimes bought the breeding to Favorite Son in the 2010 AMHA-WMF auction and bred her mare, RWF Layla. The resulting colt born in 2011 was National Treasure. The first year of eligibility for this reward was 2012 and his Futurity total included $1,900 for the regular Futurity class, plus $10,000 for the Auction Bonus.
When a two year old achieves World Champion Mare, creates a stir with buyers lined up to Timbuktu, why not quit on your laurels after that first day of the show and sit back and enjoy the ride? Because your name is Causing Chaos, that’s why! By Hollybrook Stage Rage and out of Mantic Mardi Gras, this very special young lady came back on Friday to win the Two Year Old Futurity World Champion Mare, and picked up the Auction Rewards of $10,000 in the process! Frank and Ann Miller purchased the breeding to Hollybrook Stage Rage in our 2009 stallion service auction. The resulting filly was sold to Matt Wilbur just after she was weaned, who surprised wife Caprice Soltice Wilbur with the best Christmas present ever. A smart choice it was as “CC” was the unanimous decision for this competitive title. Not only did she earn the regular two year old Futurity money of $1,850 AND the $10,000 Auction Rewards, but because Hollybrook Stage Rage was also in the 2012 AMHA-WMF Auction, Auction Rewards of $2,500 went to winning Auction get as well. An additional $1,400 was paid out to the sire owners, $1,400 to the mare owners, and $325 to trainer Frank Miller.
If these examples aren’t good enough reasons to put your stallions in the 2013 AMHA-WMF Stallion Service Auction, they should definitely be reason enough for you to raise your hand for a winning bid on one of these wonderful stallions!
This year, the World Morgan Futurity paid out $190,025. The Yearling class paid out a total of $29,850, the Two Year Old class was awarded $67,500, the three year old class shared $53,650, and the Alumni four year olds won an impressive $39,025. It’s good to know that 57 four year old Alumni horses received Futurity money for any placing first through tenth in every class in any division that they showed. We had Futurity Alumni horses in English Pleasure, Classic Pleasure Driving and Classic Pleasure Saddle, Hunter Pleasure, Park Harness, In Hand, Western Pleasure, Western Dressage, Park Saddle, and Western Trail.
Nominate your 2012 foals, dams and stallions anytime in December and participate in this rewarding program.
