Futurity

The Competition Futurity Program

Beginning in 2018, the A Bar Ranch $40,000 Futurity was created to reward working cowboys for developing finished ranch horses with A Bar Ranch genetics. More than a competition, it’s a showcase of the cow sense, conformation, and athleticism that make our horses stand out. Since its start, the Futurity has awarded more than $180,000 in prize money.

Contestants can consign their 4- or 5-year-old Futurity horses to the sale immediately following the competition — giving buyers a rare opportunity to purchase a proven, competition-tested ranch horse.

Upcoming Futurity

Join us at the A Bar Ranch headquarters in Claremore, Oklahoma for our annual Futurity. This year’s competition will once again showcase A Bar Ranch horses in Cut & Capture, Cowhorse, Ranch Trail, and Conformation, with $40,000 in prize money awarded.

Held in conjunction with the Remuda & Colt Sale
