The Wild Rose Draft Horse Futurity is a new program designed to showcase the best young horses in North America.  Fillies, colts, and geldings (foals of the current year), are eligible for nomination providing they are registered, or notified, and the owner is a member of the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association.

In order to become eligible for the Futurity, foals must be nominated before the end of the WRDHA annual meeting, usually held the first week in February, for a nomination fee of $50.00.  Once a horse is nominated into the Futurity, they are eligible to be entered as a yearling, or as a 2 year old, or both.  Owners may choose to miss the yearling year and enter the 2 year old year, or vice versa, without penalty.

If the horse is sold, the Futurity nomination goes with them, and they may still be entered by the new owner providing the appropriate transfer of ownership has been made, and the new owner is a member of the WRDHA.

The cost to nominate an individual foal is $50.00.
Nominations close at the WRDHA annual meeting.

40% of the nomination fees go to the yearling purse
40% of the nomination fees go to the 2 year old purse
20% of the nomination fees go to the WRDHA for administration

The cost to enter an individual horse in a class is $50.00.  Only yearlings and 2 year olds that have been nominated in previous years, as foals, are eligible to enter.
Entries close on May 31st.

100% of the entry fees go to the purse for the class entered, either yearling or 2 year old, in addition to the 40% of the nomination fees, as mentioned above.

The first part is a halter class for yearlings. They will be judged to 11th place, but only paid to 10th. 

The second part is for 2 year olds.  It is a combination class that consists of three divisions. The horses are judged in a halter class, a rail/cart class, and a pattern driving class. Horses are scored using a pre-determined point system, and the horse accumulating the largest number of points is declared the winner. If there are less than ten entries in a class, the leftover monies will be split equally among the number of entries that participate in that class.
