Founding Members Memorial Scholarship
​
The Scholarship is to be awarded to a member that you feel exemplifies a “TRUE HORSEMAN”. It is someone who pursues this sport for the love of the horse and only the passion for the animal. This person goes above and beyond for the care of his or her horse, or others’ horses; is a source of positive energy in the barn; and would sacrifice for the well being of the animal. Financial need is not a necessary component for eligibility, although it may factor in when deciding the recipient.
In Memory of John Anello, Bonny Lass,
