Ranch Breeders Championship Futurity

This program is designed to appeal to all horse breeders, owners, trainers, and exhibitors, by offering a full slate of ranch classes and paybacks for horses showing from their three year old through their six year old years. The Ranch BCF will be held each year in conjunction with the NSBA World Championship Show.

The Ranch Breeders Championship Futurity is funded by stallion and foal nomination fees collected annually. Stallion owners, foal nominators and foal owners will share in the earnings, with stallion owners receiving 20 percent of earnings, the original foal nominators awarded 10 percent of earnings and horse owners receiving 70 percent of futurity monies. The purse generated from nominations follows the foal crop throughout the program with each foal crop competing for their own purse.

To participate in the Ranch Breeders Championship Futurity program, a horse must be sired by a stallion nominated to the Ranch BCF program for the offspring’s yearling year. Eligible horses can be enrolled at any time beginning as yearlings through their three year old year.

The Ranch Horse Breeders Championship Futurity division will host its first classes at the 2026 NSBA World Championship Show and Breeders Championship Futurity. The program will start with a Three Year Old Open Ranch Riding class. In 2027, Four Year Old Open Ranch Riding, Four Year Old Open Ranch Rail, Four Year Old Non-Pro Ranch Riding and Four Year Old Non-Pro Ranch Rail will be added. During the 2028 NSBA World Championship Show, Five Year Old Open Ranch Riding, Ranch Rail and Ranch Trail as well as Five Year Old Non-Pro Ranch Riding, Non-Pro Ranch Rail and Non-Pro Ranch Trail will be added, and in 2029, the Five Year Old classes will become Five and Six Year Old events to complete the division.

Enrolled horses are eligible to show as a three year old through six years old.
