Welcome
to the 2012 Open Horse Show Season of the North Country Circuit
Western Pleasure futurity 3 & 4 Yr. Olds
We have finalized some details in regards to the Western Pleasure futurity. We are going to go ahead and run it this
year and see what sort of response we get. The format will be the same as in the past, three go rounds with the placings from
each go to determine the year end winners. Shows have been selected to host a futurity class- Athabasca, Waskatanau and Ranfurly. The
cost to nominate a horse will remain at $80.00/horse and hopefully we will have some added money in the way of sponsors- the
exact amount is dependant upon sponsorship.
If you, or someone you know might want to help sponsor the futurity please contact Derek Dachyshyn ddachyshyn@gmail.com.
