Breeders’ Futurity has a successful third year

APHA’s Breeders’ Futurity program continues to gather steam. Established in 2009, this prestigious competition featured the fnest American Paint Horses and exhibitors in the world competing in a select slate of classes during the APHA World Championship Show. The Breeders’ Futurity is designed to showcase the offspring of Breeders’ Trust-enrolled stallions and mares bred to those stallions. In 2012, the program boasted 174 entries vying for a total of almost $164,000 in purse money and awards in the four divisions—Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Forsaking most Open classes in 2012 in order to focus almost exclusively on Amateur events, Timeless Assets’ rise to the top of the Breeders’ Trust chart is even more impressive. “Tucson” became the program’s leading point-earning horse for the third-consecutive year.

“Last year, we decided we would drop most of the Open classes,” said the 2005 bay overo gelding’s owner, Coleen Bull. “I have a young man—Mat Korman—who loves him and shows him in Overo Color, and Garth [Gooding] shows him in trail. That’s pretty much it for the Open classes.”

Coming into the 2012 APHA World Championship Show, Coleen wasn’t certain she and Tucson could repeat last year’s accomplishments, but by the end of the Amateur classes on November 13, the pair had again captured the All-Around Masters Amateur award, earning 121 points and four world championships, including a third straight win in Masters Amateur Showmanship. “The show was amazing,” she said. “I didn’t think I could top last year because last year was so amazing, but this year was even better. It’s so hard to believe.”

Earning 1,358 Open and Amateur points in 2012, Tucson netted a paycheck worth $12,173. That money was split between Coleen, breeder Charlene Lee Maybury of West Jefferson, Ohio, and nominator Bunny Knaus of Monticello, Indiana. By Frozen Assets, Tucson is out of This Times Divine.
