Norman, OK – XL Enterprises, owned by Pat and Robin Hofmann, are pleased to announce 4-Star Trailers will be awarding two Deluxe 2-Horse Slant Load Trophy Trailers as year-end awards in the 2008 XL Barrel Futurity Tour. According to Robin Hofmann, the XL Barrel Futurity Tour organizer, one trailer will be awarded to the High Money Earning Champion 4 Year Old and one to the High Money Earning Champion 5 Year Old. \u201c4-Star has been one of our greatest alliances and we are so pleased to have them on board with this venture,\u201d stated Robin Hofmann. \u201cThe inclusion of these two trailers in the awards package will double the value of the 2007 awards package which was worth about $31,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the two 4-Star trophy trailers, XL Enterprises is guaranteeing trophy saddles to the Top 5 money earners in each age division. More awards will be added as sponsors are contracted throughout the season. There are currently 300 horses nominated for the 2008 Tour. Horses maybe nominated to the XL Barrel Futurity Tour at any time during the 2008 season, however, earnings will only be counted from the nomination date forward so those interested in participating should nominate as soon as possible to insure every dollar won counts. Hofmann\u2019s intentions for organizing the XL Barrel Futurity are focused on galvanizing the barrel futurity industry by recognizing and rewarding outstanding and consistent performance over the course of a season.
