THE FUTURE ELITE.

WHO WE ARE

ELEVATING THE ROPING INDUSTRY

At Gold Buckle Futurities, we’re committed to growing alongside the industry we serve. Our mission goes beyond just hosting events. We’re here to build a program that evolves with every season, every rider, and every horse. We’re constantly refining what we do to better support the future of elite rope horses and the people who believe in them.

By showcasing rising talent in Tie Down, Breakaway, and Team Roping, we aim to strengthen training programs and uplift the entire rope horse industry. We invite our competitors, partners, and supporters to grow with us, learn with us, and continue shaping a stronger future for the sport—together.

EXHIBIT THE FUTURE ELITE PROSPECTS

Our objective is to establish an organization that exhibits the future elite prospects in Breakaway, Tie Down, and Team Roping. Ultimately, we aim to advance training programs and promote the breeding and training of rope horses.

EXPOSURE FOR STALLION OWNERS & HORSE BREEDERS

The equine breeding industry supplies the next generation of athletes for our field. By showcasing our stallions and preserving their bloodlines, we lay the groundwork for success through breeding the next generation of elite roping prospects.

COMMITMENT

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!

PRESERVING

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.

Not in the club, but they can still play. 🙂‍↕️ 

Horses not sired by enrolled Elite Stallions still banked over $175,000, proving that there’s still money to be earned at @goldbucklefuturities outside of the incentive programs.
