The NAERIC Draft Horse Classic program encourages breeders to nominate and/or sell registered draft horse yearlings at auction each spring. The nominated horses and those sold through the sale return after training for 2 years to compete for a significant purse at the Futurity which is designed to demonstrate their quality, conformation and performance.
