Horses that are not renominated in the US and/or Canadian Halter Futurity are automatically dropped from the program.  However, horses can be reinstated by paying the appropriate fees.

 

Horses that are not reinstated into the program by the original close of entries for that show will be notified and will be given seven (7) days to buy back into the program.  Horses that are not reinstated within the seven (7) days of notification of payment for reinstatement will remain dropped from the Halter Futurity Program.  The horse will not be allowed to be reinstated into the program and will not be eligible to show in the Halter Futurity Class(es).

DNA Parentage Requirement

 

All Half-Arabian Halter Futurity, Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby, AEPA and AWPA classes at U.S. Nationals and Canadian Nationals will require DNA testing.  DNA type of the horse and the horse's Purebred Arabian parent must be placed on permanent record with the AHA Registry and the horse has been shown to qualify as an offspring of the stated purebred sire or purebred dam through DNA type testing. DNA testing will be at the owner's expense and must be on file with the AHA office before the horse will be eligible to compete. If the DNA is not on file at that time, the horse is ineligible to be shown and all nomination fees will be forfeited. 

 

To obtain a DNA testing kit for Half-Arabians, please contact Registry Services at 303.696.4500 option 2.
