Solo Select Rope Horse Futurity

A standalone roping futurity for 4-year-olds in heading, heeling, breakaway, and calf roping, held at the Clay Logan Open — Circle T Arena, Hamilton, TX, Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2026. Each roping pays its own pot.

You only need one: (1) ride a 4-year-old sired by a stallion nominated to the Solo Roping Incentive for 2026, or (2) hold a paid 2026 breeding to a nominated stallion and run any horse, by any sire. Not every Solo stallion is nominated.

Have both and you win more — you draw a check from each pot.

Call our office and we'll get you booked to a stallion nominated to the Solo Roping Incentive:

Every roping's pot splits 60% to the Sire Pot (horses by nominated sires) and 40% to the Contract Pot (paid-breeding holders). Each pot runs its own standings — the highest-placing Solo-sired horse draws the top Sire Pot check no matter where he places overall. Qualify both ways and you draw 100% of what your placing pays; qualify one way and you draw that pot's split.

One place for every 10 entries, in each pot. At the assumed 80 heading and 80 heeling entries that's 8 places apiece; at 30 breakaway and 30 calf roping entries, 3 places apiece. More entries, more places — and a bigger pot.

Yes. Hold a paid 2026 breeding to a stallion nominated to the Solo Roping Incentive and run any horse, by any sire, for the Contract Pot. One paid breeding is your way in.

Yes. If you're on a 4-year-old by a Roping Incentive nominated sire and also hold a paid 2026 breeding, you draw a check from the Sire Pot and the Contract Pot.

The nominated stallions' first foal crops are still young, so sire fields are thin. Any Sire Pot place with no horse to fill it rolls — place by place — into that roping's Contract Pot, growing every contract check. It moves one direction only: Sire to Contract.

Nomination is set each year, per stallion — not every Solo Select stallion is nominated to the Roping Incentive.

No. Only a paid 2026 breeding qualifies. Breeding contracts aren't transferable, and rebreeds or prior-year contracts don't count.

Yes — as long as the 2026 ICSI breeding contract is paid in full.

Solo Select adds $450,000 across the four ropings for 2026, and 65% of every $1,000 entry ($650) builds its roping's pot — so the pots grow with entries. Heading and heeling each pay $100,000 to win. The 2025 inaugural paid a record $581,580, with $100,000 to both the heading and heeling champions.

Entries are $1,000 per roping with a 65% payback — $650 of every entry builds its roping's pot. Deadlines and the designation process for 2026 are being finalized — details posted here soon. You'll designate your entry before the futurity; one paid breeding equals one Contract Pot entry.
