The Four Divisions
The National Belgian
Futurity will be shown each year in four divisions -- Weanling,
Yearling, Two Year-Old, and Two Year-Old Cart Class.
What Foals are Eligible
All foals shown must be the
produce of stallions and mares that are nominated in the National
Belgian Futurity and registered with the Belgian Draft Horse
Corporation.
How to Nominate the Sire
To nominate a stallion in the
Futurity it is necessary:
(1) That the stallion be registered with the Belgian Draft Horse
Corporation.
(2) That a fee of $50.00 be paid to the
Futurity on or before April 15th of the year the foal is nominated.
A late fee of $75.00 is accepted from April 16th to June 15th of that
year.
This annual nomination is the Stallion Owner's responsibility.
No nominations accepted after June 15th.
How to Nominate the Dam
To nominate a Dam in the Futurity
it is necessary:
(1) That the dam be registered with the Belgian Draft Horse Corporation.
(2) That the fee of $10.00 be paid to the Futurity on or before June
15th of the year in which the foal is to be born. This nomination
is the Dam Owner's responsibility. No nominations accepted after
June 15th.
How to Make a Weanling Eligible
In order to make a foal eligible
to show in the Weanling Division of the Futurity, the following
conditions must be complied with:
(1) The Sire and Dam must be nominated the year the foal is born.
(2) The foal must be registered
with the Belgian Draft Horse Corporation.
(We will allow weanlings to show if their
registration papers have not been completed. Absolutely no
Yearlings will be allowed without registration papers.)
(3) A $15.00 entry fee must be paid to the Futurity on or before
June 15th of the year the foal is born. If foal is due after June
15th, make payments by deadline. Fees will be reimbursed if foal
is born dead.
No late entries accepted. The foal must be entered in the Weanling
Division to be eligible for the Yearling, and Two-year Old Divisions.
The foal does not have to be shown as a Weanling.

entry from competition for failure to comply with the conditions of
the Futurity.
