Professional riders who advance to the finals in the open division and in any additional lower division(s) at the 2018 Snaffle Bit Futurity will make just one run in each of the three exciting events (herd work, rein work, fence work), rather than separate runs for each of the divisions.

“We care about our horses’ physical and mental wellbeing,” said Todd Crawford, president of the sponsoring National Reined Cow Horse Association. “We want them to be successful at the futurity and have long, happy, productive careers beyond their 3-year-old year.” The futurity takes place October 7–20 in Fort Worth, Texas ( nrcha .com/snaffle-bit-futurity).
