The Premier Sires 3 & Over Maiden Hunter Under Saddle class and 3 & Over Maiden Western Pleasure classes feature self-sustaining purses loosely based on the model set by the extremely successful and lucrative NCHA Futurity which requires horses to be entered thirteen months in advance of the show.
Below are several examples of how the purses are funded:
Example #1
50 horses make the first payment = $10,000 Of those, 30 make the second payment = $9,000 Of those, 15 make the final payment = $7,500 Total Purse = $26,500
Example #2
100 horses make the first payment = $20,000 Of those, 50 make the second payment = $15,000 Of those, 25 make the final payment = $12,500 Total Purse = $47,500
Example #3
200 horses make the first payment = $40,000 Of those, 100 make the second payment = $30,000 Of those, 50 make the final payment = $25,000 Total Purse = $95,000

The 2025 3 & Over Maiden classes are open to all horses born in or before 2022 who have been nominated to Premier Sires. Entries are made in the name of the horse. This is not a slot. An entry may change ownership and retain eligibility under the new owner, provided the new owner keeps up all payments when due and transfers ownership with Premier Sires. Upon being entered a horse may not be shown under saddle until the 3 & Over Maiden class. No late payments or entries will be accepted. A credit card payment that is declined for any reason will constitute no payment. If a sustaining payment is missed, that horse becomes ineligible to compete in the Maiden class. Entry fees are non-refundable for any reason. 100% of all paid entry fees will go directly to the purse and prizes. Class payouts are entirely dependent on the number of entries/payments received. The dates and location of the Maiden classes will be at the sole decision of Premier Sires. Premier Sires reserves the right to limit/decline entries for any reason and to cancel this event without notice at any time prior to the contest without liability to them, but in such event, shall return all entry money to subscribers.
