Fall Classic Rope Horse Futurity

If you own a The Breeders Elite Roping Incentive eligible horse, mark August 28-29 2026 on your calendars! We are so thankful to the BERI for choosing our event to support for the last few years. There is no arguing their incentive is growing each year and it was only a matter of time before we seen them host an event of their own. We’re here to support and so glad to see another rope horse Futurity in Canada 🇨🇦!

While you’re at it, we’ll be seeing you again September 12-13th 2026 for the Fall Classic! More event announcements to come!

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨

We are super excited to announce that in 2026, The Breeders Elite Roping Incentive will be hosting its own event.

Stay tuned for more details…

In 2018 we set out with a goal to help grow the team roping Futurity industry in Canada. I don’t have the payout numbers from 2018 but at the time I think there were only 3 Futurities hosted in Canada that year; ours being the new kid on the block alongside Manitoba Rope Horse Futurity - Proudly supported by Naeric and the now retired Canadian Team Roping Futurity held over CFR.

8 years later, we’re proud to have contributed to the growth. There’s been years where it’s been a struggle to make it happen with everything else going on in life but we’ve pulled through with the help of some amazing people and sponsors and look forward to seeing what 2026 has in store!

Thanks to everyone along the way for supporting the Fall Classic! From our sponsors, contestants, horse owners, judges, scribbers, announcers, timers, stock contractors, chute and arena help, and especially the Round and Bonnett families who have given the Fall Classic a home, we are grateful! Together we’ve all been a stepping stone in what will continue to be the growth of the rope horse Futurity industry in Canada!🇨🇦
Cheers to 2026!
