The North American Haflinger and Draft Pony Colt Futurity held at the Indiana Haflinger Sale March 27th-28th at the Michiana Event Center in Howe, IN. Objective: The North American Haflinger and Draft Pony Colt Futurity is intended to encourage breeding programs throughout the Haflinger and Draft Pony industry to produce colts of exceptional utility and provide additional marketing avenues for the colts from these programs. The Futurity will promote these colts in a different venue, highlighting the diversity of the colts at halter as well as under harness while offering the exhibitors a monetary reward for the superior performance of these colts as three year olds. Plan: The Futurity will promote the sale of quality yearlings annually at the Indiana Haflinger and Draft Pony Sale in Howe, IN. Purchasers of the Futurity eligible colts will have the option to bring the colt purchased at the Futurity sale back to the Indiana Haflinger and Draft Pony Sale as three-year olds to compete in halter, obstacle, and cart rail classes. Yearling colts and fillies consisting of Haflingers and Draft Ponies will be offered at the Futurity sale held in April 2015 to allow for a three (3) year old competition in the year 2017. The 2016 and subsequent Futurity sales will consist of colts born in the calendar year immediately prior to the sale resulting in competition that would take place two years after these colts are sold. There will be a monetary purse, resulting of the colts sold, which will in turn be awarded to those colts returning for futurity in two years. The Indiana Haflinger and Draft Pony Sale will handle all monetary transactions and the transfer of registration papers.
