for the year the animal was born=$125. If you nominate a 2 yr. old for the first time, the fee would be $50 for the current year plus $75 for the year the animal was a yearling plus $75 for the year the animal was a foal = $200.
4. Awards will be determined with the highest points accumulated by the animal over their best 5 shows. Each animal will earn 1 point for completing the class, and 1 point for each horse that it beats in the class (only horses entered in this program count). Example; If a horse comes first in a class of 8, but only 4 of them are entered in this program, the horse will earn 4 points.
5. Prize money and token award will be awarded at the OPHA annual banquet, to the owner of the horse as of Dec. 31, unless notification of transfer is received by the committee by Dec. 31.

The Pot
The OPHA will be sponsoring the All Ontario Percheron Futurity Program up to $4500 this year!
All of the entry fees paid goes into a pot, which is then divided up and paid out to the winners at the end of the year. A portion of the entry fees from each year is held back from the pot, and carried over to the following year. Of the nomination fee for a foal, 5% is held back for the following year’s pot, and 10% is held back for the pot in 2 years (e.g. If a foal is entered for $50 in 2015, 5% will go towards the pot in 2016, and 10% will go towards the pot in 2017, leaving 85% of the entry fee for the 2015 pot). Of the entry fee for a yearling, 10% is held back to add to the pot for the following year. All penalties paid (for late entries), goes directly into the pot.
In order to help supplement this program, and get more breeders/exhibitors interested, the OPHA will again this year sponsor this program. Each class will start out with a pot of $750. That is a sponsorship of up to $4,500 from the OPHA! The pot is divided up as follows at the end of the year:
