Join the American Hanoverian Society's judging commission on the 2012 inspection tour for the inaugural $3,000 Yearling and Two-Year-Old Futurity. Registration is open to all AHS-registered yearling colts and fillies and two-year-old colts and fillies (four classes).

Horses will be judged using a scale from 1-100 on conformation/type, movement and legs; the three scores will be averaged for a final score. Horses will be shown on the triangle; yearlings in a halter and two-year-olds in a bridle. Horses will only be turned loose in the second round if needed, at the request of the judges.

Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons will be presented in each of the four categories. The year-end rankings will be listed on the AHS website, noting Champions and Reserve Champions as well as owner and pedigree information. $3,000 will be shared by the top five yearlings and top five two-year-olds at the conclusion of the 2012 inspection tour.

This is a perfect opportunity to obtain sales photos, videos, place a classified listing in the AHS Hanoverian Marketplace and participate in the annual inspection even if you don’t have a current-year foal. Have your youngster evaluated, show off to prospective buyers and get accustomed to participating in a breed show-like atmosphere.

The cost is $29 to participate, $39 if you wish to list your horse for sale on the AHS website. Classified listings include the horse’s name hyper-linked to a sales site with pictures, full pedigree, horse and seller information.

Just one or two participants per category, per site, will create a list of 120 to 240 young Hanoverians on the AHS website, of which many will be for sale and frequented by buyers and Hanoverian enthusiasts.

Futurity registration information will be listed online when the 2012 inspection dates and site information become available. Come join the fun!
