The Canadian Barrel Futurity organization is working to promote a greater number of long-standing Futurities & Derbies; this will provide trainers and barrel racers with quality events to compete at making it more worthwhile to prepare their young horses for competition. The longest running Futurity event in Canada, the Canadian Girls Rodeo Association (CGRA) Barrel Futurity/Derby has run an event every year since its inception in 1979.
Effort continues to be made to guarantee significant added money in both Futurity and Derby competition. As well as the individual purses/awards each event offers, contestants vie for overall Futurity & Derby High Point Saddles.
* 2008 Futurity contenders can start competing on their horses as of Dec 1, 2007
