HI—-I’M A FUTURITY BABY
Story and Photos by If your owners want to nominate a baby for the 2010 Futurity, all they

have to do is contact:
That’s me in the pic-
ture. I was only a week old

then and didn’t know too
IALHA Futurity Chairperson
much about the world,
8325 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069
except that every time my
323-656-5670 • 323-656-9319 fax
owners looked at me, they
Tilleywood@aol.com
said,
“That’s a
Futurity
baby for
sure.” I
figured that
was something really cool, because it seemed to make
them very happy. I heard them say that my older sister
was a Futurity baby too—and when she grew up she
won the 3-year-old Futurity Mare class (and a lot of
money too,) then became a performance National
Champion. WOW! I’ve got a lot to live up to.
Now that I’m older I get to go out in the pasture
with another kid the same age as me. We talk a lot
except for when we are running and playing.
Both her parents are purebred Andalusians, so she
will be in the Purebred Andalusian Futurity. My mom
is a National Show Horse, so I will show in the Half
Andalusian Futurity. Maybe we can both be winners.
I heard that we were both Futurity-nominated the
year before we were even born. How about that!
Now all my owners have to do is remember to make
the nomination payment once a year, and we are eligi-
ble to show. I just love being out here with all this
freedom. I can roll, and scratch, and just enjoy life.
Already they’re cleaning my feet and brushing me—
even a bath once in a while—-so I know show season
can’t be too far away.
