FUTURITY / SNAFFLE BIT PROGRAM

The futurity program’s primary focus, at Ken Wold Training Stables, is the National Reined Cow Horse Snaffle Bit Futurity. Although in the past, Ken has trained champions for the National Reining Horse Association futurities and the National Cutting Horse Futurities.  To get to this point of Ken’s program the horses have been through nearly two years of training.  They have been hauled to practice shows and “pre works” to ensure their readiness for the World Championship Show.  Currently, the NRCHA World Championship Snaffle Bit Futurity is held in Reno, NV in the later part of September each year.  Prior to the World Championship show Ken generally shows his futurity horses at American Quarter Horse Shows and smaller Futurities throughout the western United States.  Ken’s philosophy to a successful futurity year is preparation, preparation and again, preparation.  Vince Lombardi said: “The willingness to win is not nearly as important as the willingness to PREPARE to win”.  Ken holds close to this line of thinking, due to his feeling that the futurity year is the BEGINNING of a horses’ career in the show pen.  At times this feeling is lost when there is too much emphasis on the Futurity shows.  Not all horses are mentally or physically mature enough to “handle’ the futurity year, and that is ok in Ken’s program.  This does not mean they won’t be successful as aged event horses in the show pen.
