2023 TQHA Sale Futurity:

The nominations list for the 2023 TQHA Sale Futurity is now posted online at www.tqha.com under the Racing tab, TQHA Sale Futurity tab. 188 horses paid the initial nomination payment. The next payment of $500 is due on or before December 1, 2022. If you did not make the initial nomination payment you can late nominate on or before December 1, 2022, with a payment of $1,500.

Important Yearling and Broodmare Accreditation Deadlines:

Don’t forget to get your yearlings and in-foal broodmares that are expected to foal in Texas accredited before December 31, 2022. If your yearlings (foals of 2021) are not accredited before December 31, 2022, the fee goes from $100 to $500!! If your in-foal broodmares are not accredited by December 31, 2022, then you will miss out on breeders awards for their 2023 foals.

Unnamed Accredited Horses:

If you have a yearling/weanling that you accredited without papers please be sure and send those papers in to us to be stamped and so we can also get the name in our system so you don’t miss out on any owner/breeder/stallion awards that may be coming your way.
