Dressage Futurity

This is a fabulous opportunity for breeders to bring recognition to their stallions, mare & offspring produced by nominating foals into the Futurity Program. Not only will this program offer recognition opportunities, but to increase the incentive, this is the first competition oriented program for Curlies that will pay back cash to winners!

Nominated 5 year old Curlies will compete at Training Level following the rules for eligibility for CSI Horse-of-the-Year awards for that competition year.

CSI Dressage Futurity Eligibility

All foals born in 2005 or after and registered in any book of CSI, excluding for the Breed Stock Improvement Book (meaning the horse does not carry any known Curly bloodlines), are eligible to enter the Futurity. There are two payment schedules listed below, one for foals born in 2005 & 2006 & a different schedule for all foals born 2007 and after.

Dressage Futurity 

For the Dressage Futurity, the fifth futurity payment serves as your “Intent to Compete” notice.

Your final Futurity Payment must be postmarked no later than February 15th of the competition year and before the first competition.

All payments must be up to date before competing otherwise the scores will not count toward the futurity.

The competition year is from January 1 to November 30.

CSI HOY rules for training level dressage apply.

Please note: The Competition year dates for the Futurity vary slightly from the standard HOY competition year.

Futurity Payment Schedule for Foals Born 2007 & After:

In the table below, use the row indicating when the initial nomination is made to determine the appropriate payments:

EXAMPLE: Your horse is born in 2008. You nominate your horse in his yearling year (before Feb 15th of 2009) so your futurity nomination payments are listed in the row labeled “Yearling Year”.

Initial nomination after Feb 15th of the horse’s 4th year will not be allowed.

Futurity Payment Schedule for Foals Born 2005 or 2006:

Nomination must begin in 2008 for any horse born 2006 or before. No late initial nomination allowed.

Nomination will be consistent each year, assuming payments are made on time, in the amount of $50,

No penalty will be enforced for 2005 & 2006 foals, IF the horse is nominated (entry postmarked) within the first 45 days of the program, no later than May 15, 2008.

In the table below, use the row indicating your horse’s BIRTH YEAR to determine the appropriate payments:

EXAMPLE: Your horse is born in 2006. You nominate your horse before May 15th 2008. Use the row listing your horse’s birth year for all subsequent payments and due dates. 

Eligibility is maintained as long as:

The futurity payments are kept up to date

The owner remains a continuous member of CSI through the competition year

IF the horse is sold, proper transfer of ownership must be completed and the new owner is a member or joins at the time of the transfer.

Penalty Payments:

Add 25% of the payment to each one postmarked 1-30 days late.

Add 50% of the payment to each one postmarked 31-60 days late.

Add 100% of the payment to each one postmarked 60-120 days late.

Between 120-364 days late, if the owner wishes to continue payments, the entire remaining amount must be paid at one time. .

If 365 days lapse and you wish to pick up eligibility again, you must drop down to the next fee schedule and pay the entire difference between the amount already paid and the TOTAL amount after five years. In the 3rd Birthday schedule, add $100.00 to the total.

The last payment, the fifth year, will not be accepted if more than 30 days late.
