FUTURITY/ DERBY & JUNIOR DIVISION
FUTURITY/DERBY PROGRAM
The WPRA Futurity and Derby program is the beginning steps of turning barrel horse prospects into champion rodeo horses. The program, which began in 2006, is for building better rodeo horses that will last through the years. The program gives members a place to take young horses and introduce them to the competition arena but in a more relaxed atmosphere. The Futurities are open to horses 5-years-old and younger that are
competing for the first time, while the Derby program is for 6-and 7-year-old horses, as long as they did not compete in Futurities as a 4-year old. A horse that starts his competitive career as a 4-year-old has two years of eligibility, but as a 5- and 6-year-old. The program has proven a great training ground for building rodeo horses of the future.
