The Minnesota Limited Breeder’s Futurity and Minnesota Saddlebred Horse Association have announced updates to the Midwest Breeders’ Jackpot class held at the 2019 Minnesota Futurity horse show. The class is now open to all 3- and 4-year-old American Saddlebreds registered by breeders in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota or Wisconsin.

In addition to entry fees collected for the class, the Minnesota Saddlebred Horse Association has committed to adding $50 to the jackpot for each horse nominated to the Midwest Breeders Jackpot Class. The jackpot is 100 percent paid out.

Entries may be shown with set or unset tails, with or without trimmed manes, in a snaffle or full (or double) bridle. Entries shall be shown at the flat or animated walk, trot and canter both ways of the ring, stand quietly in the lineup and back readily.

The nomination fee for this class will be $200 for entries nominated before July 31, or $300 if paid at the show.

The Minnesota Futurity Horse show will be held in Winona, Minnesota, October 4-6, 2019.
