NCHA general manager Craig Young said the organisation was thrilled to hold its 44th Futurity at AELEC.
“Some 800 plus entrants will be competing for somewhere in the extent of $750,000 in prize money and prizes,” Young said.
“We’re also inviting over the top eight non-pro competitors from the United States of America to compete in a challenge this year.
“We went to the States last year and brought the trophy home, so they’ll be here with a vengeance to try and take it back – and I can ensure you, they’ll have a tough time taking it.”
The 13-day event runs from May 30 to June 11.
“We’ve got our entertainment night on Saturday, June 3 with the Redneck Gentlemen and Katie Botfield performing, along with a top line-up of rodeo competitors,” Young said.
“We’ll have a top shootout for the four highest qualifying riders. So (it will be) a great day for all spectators on that day.”
We're also inviting over the top eight non-pro competors from the United States to compete in a challenge this year.
