2018 Modifications to the Breeders’ Futurity Platinum Division
Established in 2009, the APHA Breeders’ Futurity program was created to complement the APHA Breeders’ Trust program by increasing opportunities and financial rewards for Breeders’ Trust-nominated foals. The Breeders’ Futurity is a prestigious competition featuring the finest American Paint Horses and exhibitors in the world competing in a select slate of classes designed to showcase the offspring of APHA Breeders’ Trust-subscribed stallions and the mares bred to them.
Foals of 2009 were the first crop eligible to compete in the Futurity. The slate of classes in subsequent years grew right along with them; in 2010, yearling halter, longe line and in-hand trail were added and the performance classes began in 2011.
Competition is offered in two divisions:
- Gold – for the Regular Registry offspring and all SPB offspring regardless of stud fee.
In these divisions, the mare owner must nominate the mare to the program. - Platinum – A program unto itself, the Platinum division Breeders’ Futurity is an elite weanling halter futurity. Foals are made eligible for this division by the stallion owner, paying a minimum of $5,000 nomination fee and the Mare owner paying a $200 nomination fee (late fees apply). These foals are also eligible to enter the Gold division, provided all requirements, fees and payments are met accordingly.

Once the foals are made eligible, the appropriate Futurity payments must be made for the year(s) the foal is shown only. No futurity payments are made in a year the horse is not shown in Breeders’ Futurity classes at the APHA World Championship Show.
