Stakes Classes at the 2006 AMHA Nationals!
The AMHA is entering a new era. The 2006 World show will debut “aged†driving classes for both Three-year-old and Four-year-old Country Pleasure Stakes and Three-year-old and Four-year-old Single Pleasure Stakes. This is an interim plan approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, to bridge the gap between the expiring existing performance futurity classes and the all new Performance Futurity. 2006 will be the first time in AMHA history that a first year driving horse will have an “Open†class to compete in free from having to show against returning National and World Champion and Grand Champion horses!
These classes will be held during the “Open†portion of the show, under the “Open†judges. They are open to ANY AMHA registered horse of the appropriate age (no futurity nomination or point qualification required). The Nomination fee will be $300.00 per horse with all nomination money plus additional added money paid back to the top ten placing contestants. The Performance Committee has been gathering donations for this program since the start of the year and is still actively seeking donations with the hope of making the pay-out for this program the largest in AMHA history! Nominations close August first so don’t miss out! This program is online at the AMHA’s web site: stakes infoThe performance portion of the existing futurity will end in 2009 with this year being the last year that $15.00 of your $150.00 nomination fees applying to the performance classes. Starting in 2007 there will be separate nomination forms available and separate funds for the 2010 Performance Futurity.
For additional information regarding the new futurity program or for more info on the 2006 stakes classes, contact Gary Barnes, Performance Committee Chair at: [email protected].
