Old West Rope Horse Futurity - GUTHRIE
APRIL 8-12, 2026 | LAZY E ARENA | GUTHRIE, OK
The Old West Rope Horse Futurity is coming to Guthrie in 2026 — where elite horses and world-class ropers will go head-to-head for unmatched prestige. With $300,000 added to the Old West Sale Graduate Side Pot, and a main futurity payout that grows with entries, Guthrie sets the stage for high-stakes competition and the first step on the Road to the Million. In 2025, Old West paid out over $500,000 added money at Heber, and 2026 is shaping up to be even bigger. This isn’t just another roping — it’s the gold standard in the heart of the western performance horse world. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
