Shows > Performance Futurity
EFFECTIVE 1/1/2024, THE PERFORMANCE FUTURITES ARE BEING DISCONTINUED.
THEY MAY BE REPLACED WITH JACKPOT CLASSES AT THE WORLD SHOW WHERE A PERCENTAGE OF THE ENTRY FEE IS GIVEN OUT TO THE WINNERS. THE LAST DRIVING FUTURITY CLASSES (4-YEAR-OLD CLASSES) WILL BE HELD AT THE 2028 WORLD SHOW. THE LAST HUNTER FUTURITY CLASSES WILL BE HELD AT THE 2026 WORLD SHOW. LATE NOMINATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED SO HORSES CAN ENTER THOSE CLASSES.
PLEASE SEE THE REVISED NOMINATION FORMS BELOW.
The Performance Futurity offers incentives to start coming three-year-old horses to compete in classes based on age where the young and inexperienced can compete against others without showring experience. This allows these horses to compete without showing against World Champion and Grand Champion horses.
The Performance Futurity Committee Chair, Clinton Jury is happy to answer questions and assist in completing your Nomination forms. If you need more assistance, Contact AMHA today at 817-783-5600!
***All Performance Futurity nominations are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another horse***

SHOW:
The Performance Futurity offers incentive to start coming three-year-old horses to compete in classes based on age where the young and inexperienced can compete against others without showring experience. This, instead of having to compete against World Champion and Grand Champion horses.
SUSTAIN:
Performance horses “DRIVE” the AMHA as well as the miniature horse world! They make up 60% of recent World Show entries. When the Performance Committee was formed and started their Performance Futurity process, performance horses accounted for 51% of entries.
The Performance Futurity creates incentive in the form of payouts and stimulate interest and income from the breeder to the local shows, all the way to the AMHA!
Congratulations
