The Numbers Add Up for San Juan Ranch in 2025 GBF Season
Gold Buckle Futurities launched in 2023 with our inaugural event, establishing a bi-annual platform for horses and trainers to compete for significant purses with multiple opportunities. Our event formats feature a four-year-old futurity and a six-year-old and under maturity, creating a diverse range of aged events that open doors for elite rope horses and stallion owners. All horses compete in the GBF open roping, with the added opportunity to be nominated for the exclusive Elite Stallions Incentive or Elite Breeders Incentives Sidepots – additional prize funds that let foals of eligible stallions vie for an even larger purse!
GREAT BLOODLINES
Preserving exceptional bloodlines is at the core of our program, recognizing that equine breeding is the foundation of the performance horse industry. By safeguarding these invaluable genetics, we are committed to advancing the rope horse industry and ensuring that future generations inherit the strength, agility, and excellence that define these great lineages.
