The industry’s elite Halter horses and handlers gathered this past weekend in Des Moines, Iowa for the premier Breeders Halter Futurity and National Halter Championship, which awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars, beautiful bronze trophies, golden globes, and even the year’s use of two horse trailers to a few lucky competitors. Charged with the tough task of determining the winners were judges Chip Knost, John Boxell, Steve Cruse, Mark DeFreece, Jeffrey Pait, Jerri Harmon, Debbie Kail, Keith Longacre, John Shepard, and Bruce Walquist.

Like in the past, in order for horses to be eligible to compete in the classes, they must have been sired by either one of the Amateur or Open division stallions.
