APHA World Pre-Entries and Sale Consignments Due Sept. 15th
PHJ press release by: Alannah Castro
The clock is counting down to the 2015 APHA World Championship Show, and deadlines are fast approaching.
World Show Pre-Entries, Stall reservations and RV reservations
Pre-entries must be received by September 15 to be eligible for the most economical rates. Most entries can be submitted online at apha.com/oawcs; remember, however, that Farnam Stakes, Breeders’ Futurity, ranch sorting, speed-event rollover options and Southern Belle Breeders’ classes must be submitted by email, fax or mail to APHA. Post-entries will be accepted until 5 p.m. the day before the class takes place. Entry fees increase beginning September 16, and a full list of pre- and post-entry fees can be found at apha.com/oawcs. Stall reservations and RV reservations will be assessed a late fee beginning September 16.
Farnam Breeders’ Trust Select Sale
The Farnam Breeders’ Trust Select Sale consignment deadline is also September 15. This premier sale includes both a Regular Session for horses of any age that are subscribed or nominated to the Breeders’ Trust and for mares bred to Breeders’ Trust-subscribed stallions, as well as a Yearling Stakes Session, exclusively for Breeders’ Trust-nominated prospects who will become eligible to compete for more than $50,000 in future Farnam Pleasure Stakes classes. For more information on consigning a horse, head over to apha.com/oawcs/sale.
Two horses will also be auctioned off during the sale to benefit the American Paint Horse Foundation. Longtime APHA breeder Floyd Moore of Huntsville, Texas, has generously donated two yearling tobiano cutting-bred colts: Smart Badger and Cutters Flying Baby; proceeds from their sales will go towards Youth scholarships and other foundation initiatives.
- Smart Badger is a 2014 sorrel tobiano stallion by Smart Delta and out of Peptos Lady Badger. His sire, Smart Delta, is by legendary cutting sire Smart Little Lena (QH) and out of Alazulenas Flyer, an APHA world champion cutting horse and open finalist in the NCHA Super Stakes. His dam, Peptos Lady Badger, traces her lineage back to APHA Hall of Famer Delta Flyer and Peptoboonsmal (QH), Equi-Stat’s No. 7 leading cutting sire for 2015, whose offspring have earned more than $24 million in the cutting pen.
- Cutters Flying Baby is a 2014 sorrel tobiano stallion by Nu Flying Cutter and out of Nu Flyers Baby. Cutters Flying Baby is triple-bred Delta Flyer, the 1986 NCHA Super Stakes Open Champion who earned more than $250,000 in NCHA competition over the course of his career; Delta Flyer will be inducted into the APHA Hall of Fame during the 2016 APHA Convention (link) in Richmond, Virginia in February. Other notable horses on his pedigree include Nu Bar (QH), Doc Bar (QH) and Peppy San Badger (QH).
