Nomination Programm
Starting with the year 2013, only 4-year-old horses that have been entered into the new Nomination Program of der NRHA National Reining Horse Association are entitle to start at the NRHA European Futurity.
The horses nominated in Europe are entitled for the NRHA European Futurity for 4-year-old horses and the NRHA European Derby for 4- to 7-year-old horses.
In 2009 and 2010, more than 500 weanlings born in Europe were nominated each year. Until December 31 of the year a foal was born in, nomination is possible for € 230. After that date, nomination fee increases considerably.
The money gained by the NRHA Nomination Program in Europe, will flow into the purse of the NRHA European Futurity and Derby, which meand the more successful the European Nomination Program is, the more money will be paid out.
Nominator Incentive Program rewards Nominators
Whoever nominates a horse for the European Futurity even profits after selling the horse. For this, NRHA created an Incentive Program which pays the nominator 5 per cent of the prize money earned by the at the European Futurity and Derby.
„The new nomination program is to provide a solid platform for future European Futurities,“ says NRHA Executive Director Dan Wall. „Entering a horse into the program pays: there is a multi million dollar purse in it. The Nomination Program offers a lot of advantages for a good price if the horse is nominated as a weanling."
