The AHS is pleased to announce the final standings of the eighth annual $3,000 AHS YEARLING AND TWO-YEAR-OLD FUTURITY held during the 2020 inspection tour. The Futurity is open to AHS-registered, HV-registered, ARS-registered, RV-registered, and AHS Certificate of Pedigree yearling colts/geldings and fillies and two-year-old colts/geldings and fillies (four classes total). It is judged using a scale from 1-10 with three categories: Conformation/Type, Movement, and Foundation/Legs. Scores will be announced following each horse’s presentation. A certificate, including scores, will be sent to each participant from the AHS Office. Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons are awarded in each of the four classes. Horses are shown on the triangle; yearlings are shown in a halter, while two-year-olds are shown in a bridle. They may not be turned loose, but a second round is permitted if necessary.
The 2020 sponsor is Louise Leatherdale/Leatherdale Farms. Special thanks for her wonderful generosity!
Scores will be tabulated from every Futurity class and $3,000 will be split between the top five yearlings and top five two-year-olds in the country. Congratulations to the following entries!
