NOMINATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 30
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - March 31, 2010 - The deadline for 2009 European-born
foal nominations for the National Reining Horse Association European Nomination
Program was originally March 31, 2010. However due to suggested changes to the 2010 program conditions, the deadline
has been extended to April 30, 2010.
As of March 30, nearly 450 nominations were received. According to Executive
Director Dan Wall, "With the number of nominations received to date, the program
is well on its way to our goal of 500. However, we realize these pending changes
are a concern of many involved in the program. Therefore in fairness to the entire
membership, the Executive Commitee dediced to extend the deadline pending the
discussion and approval of the proposed changes to the 2010 conditions."
During a meeting earlier this month, NRHA European Affiliates proposed changes
in the program conditions that would impact foals born in 2010 and later. The
Executive Commitee will recommend the proposal to the NRHA Board of Directors
during their April meeting. Due to these potencial changes, the Executive Commitee
decided to extend the deadline to April 30.
While breeders are in the process of making the desion to nominate 2009 foals,
NRHA hopes they will consider the proposed changes shown below. (Please note that the conditions will not change for 2009 foals. Only foals born
in 2010 or later will be considered nominated under the revised nomination conditions.)
WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES FOR 2010 FOALS?
After hearing member questions and concerns about the program, NRHA European
Affiliates recommend the following:
- To change the structure so that one nomination will not make a horse eligible
to enter both the U.S. and European components of the program. This change is
proposed as the best solution to ensure the long-term success of both programs.
For example if an owner wants a European-born foal to be eligible to enter the
NRHA U.S. Futurity, NRHA U.S. Derby, NRHA European Futurity and NRHA European
Derby, he/she will need to:
1.) Nominate the foal to NRHA European Nomination Program for 230Euro
2.) Nominate the foal to the U.S. component at a discounted rate. The discounted
rate will be discussed and decided by the NRHA Board of Directors at the April
9-10 meeting.
A similar process will apply to horses that are nominated in the U.S. The nominator
will need to make the second discounted nomination payment for the horse to be
eligible for the NRHA European Futurity and NRHA European Derby.
NOMINATE TODAY!
The NRHA European Futurity is open to all four-years-old until the 2013 event
at which time only horses nominated ot the NRHA Nomination Program can enter.
The program starts with 2009 European-born foals. The nomination fee for 2009
foals is only 230Euro if postmarked by April 30. The fee increases to 1.500Euro
after April 30!!!
