Thing is in NRHA the big guns are running the show and they do not care about what horse will or will not make the futurity. All they care about is adding to the totel purse of the futurity and that is what that foal registration fee does. To me it is wrong and I have let my feelings known but again they do not care. Look at who wins it is a very select few. Both in trainers and owners. So the reast of us are just padding their pockets. It leaves me between a rock and a hard place in many ways. The foals I produce are of the lines being both sire and dam have done extramly well in the NRHA with Top reining lines and those foals bring good money so to not pay those foals up can really hurt when it comes time to sell. However if I am going to keep them most likely they will not be paid up and that will be my form of protest. There are enough other futurites and derbys closer and cost less money with a very good return. Perhaps if more people protested that way things would be back to the way they where.
