The American Rope Horse Futurity Association (ARHFA) is a prominent organization dedicated to the advancement and promotion of the rope horse industry.

The ARHFA was founded by Jay & Lindsay Wadhams who recognized the need for a platform that would specifically cater
to the unique demands of rope horse competitions. Their vision was to create an association that would encourage the
breeding, training, and showcasing of highly skilled rope horses through futurity events.

In its initial years, the ARHFA faced numerous challenges in establishing itself as a recognized authority in the rope horse industry. The association gradually gained credibility and acceptance among ropers and horse enthusiasts. The ARHFA’s emphasis on maintaining high standards of horsemanship, promoting fair competition, and providing a platform for the best rope horses to showcase their talents and exceptional breeding.

Over the years, the ARHFA has experienced remarkable growth, both in terms of membership and the scale of its events. The association has consistently attracted top roping professionals, trainers, and breeders who see the value in participating in ARHFA-sanctioned competitions. Competitors/Trainers such as Trevor Brazile, Colby Lovell, Kollin VonAhn, Cade Rice, & legendary showman such as JD Yates and Brad Lund are influential advocates of the industry and strive to increase recognition of the ARHFA association.

In 2021, the sport exploded with an increase in numbers and payouts with over 1000 total entries and payouts at $728,000. In 2023, with record, yearly entries and nearly triple the growth of the association, payouts were just short of $2 million for the 2023 season. In addition to 2023, the association added a new futurity set up in partnership with the American Paint Horse Association. Looking ahead in 2024, the ARHFA will welcome the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo to their futurity roster as we.

Moreover, the ARHFA has been proactive in expanding its reach and influence beyond traditional roping hotspots. By organizing events in different regions and collaborating with other reputable organizations, the association has successfully attracted new participants and partnerships, thereby broadening the fan base and creating opportunities for talented rope horses from diverse backgrounds.

 

The ARHFA’s growth has not only benefited the association but also has a positive impact on the rope horse industry as a whole. It has provided a platform for breeders to showcase their horses, trainers to demonstrate their
skills, and ropers to compete at the highest level. The increased visibility and recognition of the rope horse industry, facilitated by the ARHFA, have contributed to the overall improvement in horse quality, training techniques, and roping standards.

Looking ahead, the ARHFA is poised for even greater growth and success. With its steadfast dedication to excellence, commitment to horsemanship, and continuous innovation, the association is well-positioned to further elevate the rope horse industry, attract new talent, and provide exciting opportunities for rope horse enthusiasts across the United States.
