The definition of a slot futurity is that the nominees become owners of the purchased slots and given that they continue to pay the annual ongoing fee of $300, they will continue to own the slot in subsequent years. These classes are open to all western breeds.
Rules:
- Slots will be sold on a first-come first-served basis.
- 25 slots ONLY are available for purchase.
- Requests received and paid for become permanent. You become the owner of this slot and this will be an ongoing slot class, providing the concept is successful.
- The slots will be on sale from 8pm on Wednesday 1st September, 2010, and they will only be accepted on the official NPHA entry form available on the NPHA website from 8pm onwards on that day. All paperwork must be in order for the slot to be accepted and added to the list so please be careful and make sure everything is enclosed.
- Each year, you will be responsible for a renewal fee of $300. This fee is due on or before 1st September of each year.
- If the ongoing fee is not paid by that date, the nominee’s slot is forfeited back to the NPHA. The NPHA will then resell any slots not paid for in full by 1st September of each year.
- You may lease or sell your slot by notifying the NPHA in writing.
- You will need to nominate your horse by 1st April of that year. A horse nomination form will be made available to you in advance of this deadline.
- 20 slots must be sold for the class to proceed and the prize money to be guaranteed. In the event that 20 slots are not sold all money paid will be refunded.
- Maximum of two (2) slots per nominee.
- All owners and handlers of horses competing in these classes are required to be current financial members of the NPHA at the time of the show.
- Any payments that result in uncleared funds or declined credit cards will lose their spot in the list of first in buyers.
- Horse’s date of birth is taken from the horse’s registration papers and a copy of the papers must be available for inspection if required.
- Dual registered horses can only be considered highest place of one breed and you will be asked to state which breed you will be competing as on the horse entry form.

Hi All,
NPHA is once again holding the Western Pleasure events in 2010 at Equitana, Melbourne, on Saturday 20th November, 2010.
This year we opted to only have two events and take up more time for educational seminars and demonstrations.
There will be an Open Western Pleasure class and a Non Pro Western Pleasure class (Youth and amateurs will be allowed to compete in the Non Pro class). We will have ten participants in each class.
Cost to enter the classes will be $50 each and the prize money will be $3,000 on the Open Western Pleasure and $2,000 on the Non Pro Western Pleasure.
We are bringing a US judge out to judge the two classes and conduct the seminars/demonstrations.
We are asking for expressions of interest from competitors who wish to compete in these classes. The committee will then collate the nominations and send invitations out to the successful applicants. Preference will be given to horses/riders that have competed in this years, and previous years, NPHA shows.
I have attached the application form so if you wish to apply to compete please fill in the form and either scan and email it back or post it back. Applications close on 21st July, 2010.
Please contact me if you have any queries.
Regards
Joanne Gregory
