Rules

The monies you pay to the Futurity are donations. The Futurity is neither responsible nor liable for any contracts, schedules, claims or warranties implied or expressed. Bidders should know that a successful bid and resultant service are governed by individual contract between the stallion owner and the bidder, not the Futurity. You agree to be responsible for any claims due to your violation of any Futurity rules.

HYPOTHETICAL TIME LINE

Buy Your Stallion Breeding at Auction.

Breed Your Mare to the Stallion you purchased at the Auction (Auction-Get). You can also breed for a Non-Auction Get by breeding to a Stallion in the Auction but did not buy at Auction.

Declare Auction-Get BEFORE foal is born.

Nominate Your Auction-Get or Non-Auction Get by show deadline (yearling year).

Show Your Yearling in the Circle J Futurity during the Circle J Regional Morgan Horse Show in July! If you're showing an Auction-Get you have a chance to win the Championship.

Suspension for any period of any horse/horses, completely or in part owned, leased or of any partnership, corporation or stable of such person or shown in any name or for his/ her or their credit, whether such interest was held at the time of the alleged violation or acquired thereafter. Failure of payment to the Circle J Futurity by the winning bidder for auction stud service shall result in disqualification of that stallion’s get for the particular year which the said stallion’s yearlings would have been eligible for the yearling Futurity class.

DECLARATIONS: Auction-Get, which are the result of a breeding purchased at the Circle J Auction. These breedings shall be declared IN WRITING at about six months of gestation (but before foal is born) to the Futurity Board. If embryo transfers are involved you must declare only ONE embryo, but must record all other like breedings with the Futurity Board. If like breedings are not recorded with this board, the resulting Auction-Get shall show as a Non-Auction Get, and the Non-Auction Get payout shall apply. Forms are available on the website under forms or contact Marilyn Esteb (303) 681-2672. Note: Breedings purchased at the Circle J Auction shall be good until the get is shown at the Circle J show as long as the stallion owner honors the contract. The Futurity must be notified in writing that you wish to carryover the breeding.

NOMINATION FEES:

Auction Get

Auction Get $100; Dams $50. Yearling and Dam must be nominated and fees paid in full by the Circle J Regional Morgan Horse Show entry deadline. No Futurity late fees apply. Forms are available on the website or contact Marilyn Esteb (303) 681-2672.

JUDGING:

A three-judge system will be used, using a point system of 1 to 100, 100 being highest score. The class will be conducted in two rounds. Each round will be scored separately. No scores will carry over from round one to round two. In the first round, each yearling will show individually. A random drawing will be held to determine the numerical order of appearance of each yearling. Any owner or trainer who is showing more than one entry and draws consecutive spots will be given a new draw. There will be a call judge. After trotting through the in-gate, each yearling has up to 90 seconds in which to be judged. He shall be shown standing and then at a trot. The handler then has the remainder of the 90 seconds to exhibit and show the yearling to its best advantage. At the end of the time allotment, the yearling must immediately leave the ring. The next yearling shall then enter and show in the same manner. Each entry should be waiting at the in-gate for its turn. After the final yearling is judged, show officials will tabulate the scores. The ten yearlings scoring the highest will be asked to return to the in-gate for the second round. These entries shall enter the ring together and the class shall be run as a new in-hand class.

The judges may ask to compare the yearlings at this time. After all the entries have been judged, scores will be tabulated using the MOS judging system and 1st thru 10th place will be awarded in reverse order. All handlers are required to dress in formal attire. CLASS RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CLASS.

If like breedings are not recorded with this board, the resulting Auction-Get shall show as a Non-Auction Get, and the Non-Auction Get payout shall apply. Breedings purchased at the Circle J Auction shall be good until the get is shown at the Circle J show as long as the stallion owner honors the contract.

NON-AUCTION GET: Get sired by an auctioned stallion, but the breeding was not purchased at the auction. To show in the Futurity, Non-Auction Get must be sired by a stallion in the auction for that year. A list of stallions is listed below.
