ARHFA events combine judged and timed criteria to identify the world’s most talented young rope horses. It’s designed to showcase the ability of 4-, 5- and 6-year-old rope horses to make runs executed with the precision of a show horse and the smooth speed of top timed-event contenders.
All money earned at ARHFA events is tabulated on a horse’s official record, which directly impacts the horse’s value, producer Jay Wadhams says.
“With our judged and timed format, if they’ve won money at our events, you know it’s a good horse,” he said. “I think this is a great way to showcase the amount of money people can win, at both our event and the APHA World Championship Show.”

The all-breed Cowtown Classic Rope Horse Futurity takes place July 7-9 in conjunction with the APHA world championship roping events and will offer the following:
4-, 5- & 6-Year-Old Heading Futurity (Open, Intermediate, Limited)
4-, 5- & 6-Year-Old Heeling Futurity (Open, Intermediate, Limited)
4-Year-Old Heading Pre-Futurity
4-Year-Old Heeling Pre-Futurity
Non-Pro Heading
Non-Pro Heeling

Make plans to attend for a shot at big bucks, and get your rope horse into the John Justin Arena ahead of the ARHFA World Championship Rope Horse Futurity finals in October.
In addition to the $35,000 in guaranteed added money, class purses will be supplemented by jackpotted entry fees. The Cowtown Classic Rope Horse Futurity will be produced by ARHFA/Jay & Lindsay Wadhams.
