The NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity celebrates its 59th anniversary this year, but the history of the unique working horse the futurity was created for, extends back hundreds of years. 

Small wonder. The action is breathtaking, and the "cow sense" and athletic prowess of the colts and fillies are amazing to see. These finely bred animals, a part of our California Heritage, bringing prideful pleasure to all - owners, trainers, exhibitors and spectators alike.
