IPHA Breeders Futurity

As we enter our 55th year for the Stallion Service Sale and Futurity, we are excited to offer the same great slate of classes from weanlings to 5-year-olds. For 2025, the Painted for Success Futurity will again be held with our show, offering weanling halter classes, and a chance for you to show at TWO futurities under one roof! Please take a moment to visit the Futurity website, look at the stallions available, read the rules on how to be a part of this great program paying out over $30,000, and review the list of eligible stallions! We look forward to seeing you Labor Day weekend with our APHA show including all breed classes and pinto classes. (Pending APHA approval a dual POR for 8 judges in 3 days!)

Thank you, Carri Hansen, Futurity Chair

A note from our 2025 IPHA President Carri Hansen...

Dear IPHA Membership,

Thank you for trusting me with the position of being your president, I look forward to taking on this role. I look forward to working side by side with Vice President, Shelly Prehoda as well! I know things look a little different for our 2025 show season with just 2 shows, but I am excited for what these shows have to offer with a full slate of APHA classes, added all breed classes, and added pinto classes. I am hopeful that we can incorporate some fun activities into each show as well to bring our exhibitors and families together.

As your president I would like to extend an open ear to everyone involved with IPHA for suggestions, concerns, and ideas for growth and improvement. I hope to have more meetings throughout the year and also would like to try to have some sort of gathering after show season to get together and celebrate the success of our members and have a good time together.

Thank you to our members, board members, committees, show managers, show staff, exhibitors, and judges in 2024 for doing a great job navigating through a tough year for the industry and I know we can all work together to have a great 2025. Please never hesitate to reach out if you would like to talk!

Thank you,
Carri Hansen, President
