INTRODUCTION
The Futurity is designed to encourage young horses in dressage. Entrants ride two USEF First Level tests, each of which is judged by two judges. The total number of points determines the placings.
There are two divisions, Open and Adult Amateur, with an award to first and ribbons to 10th place in each division. The overall winner receives the Futurity Perpetual Trophy.
All nomination fees received go into the purse which is divided among the six highest scoring entrants in each division - Open and Adult Amateur, as follows: 1st - 30%, 2nd - 25%, 3rd - 20%, 4th - 15%, 5th - 5%, 6th - 5%. You must declare Open or Adult Amateur status at the time of nomination. CDS will now add 50% into the Futurity Purse for each division. So for every $1000 in the purse, CDS will add another $500.
All horses entered in the 2008 Futurity classes at the CDS Annual Championships Show must have been born in ‘03 or ‘04. Horses born in ‘02 will be allowed to enter the Adult Amateur Division. Horses may not have competed at Level I or above in any show recognized by any dressage organization in the U.S. prior to nomination.
The CDS CAL BRED Futurity is open to horses foaled in '03 or '04 (and '02 ridden by amateurs) already entered in the CDS Futurity who were foaled in California or Nevada. The Perpetual Trophy, ribbons and cash awards are based on the total point scores, regardless of Amateur or Open status. The Cal-Bred purse, which consists of all nomination fees from entered horses, is divided on the same percentage basis as the CDS Futurity.
