Some of the most elite Halter horses and handlers in the country gathered in Des Moines, Iowa September 14-18 for the Breeders Halter Futurity. Year after year, the Breeders Halter Futurity is the highest paying Halter event in the country with a 1.5 million dollar payout in 2020 alone.

With four different divisions for exhibitors: Open, Amateur, Color Open, and Color Amateur, there is something for everyone. DIY classes offer a special section to allow competitors who train their own horses to shine. The Owner/Breeder/Exhibitor designation celebrates those competitors who bring a horse through the entire process from foal to show horse. The Mare Power program honors the maternal bloodlines that lead to championship earning offspring.

Grand Champion Open Mare- Carli Kerns and Intrigueing.

New for this year, there was a Western Pleasure and Performance Halter class with a $30,000 purse for horses 2-5 years of age. The inaugural winner was Adam Matthews and TNR Cali Cool, winning $9,000. There was also a Yearling Longe Line class that was won by Lindsay Mclain and TB Quiet Pleez. This team earned $7,500 of the $25,000 purse.

The Grand Champions of the show were celebrated in the center of the arena with a neck wreath of red roses and those impressive golden globes. Congratulations to some of the big winners!
