The future of the American Saddlebred horse depends on inspiring and empowering young people to carry forward the legacy of this extraordinary breed.

Many young horsemen and horsewomen devote years to ASHBA Youth Programs, volunteering, and developing the knowledge, leadership, and commitment that will shape the future of our industry. Yet every year, deserving students face financial barriers as they pursue higher education.

The ASHBA Youth Scholarship Program helps remove those barriers. Scholarships are awarded to ASHBA members who have demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, active participation in ASHBA Youth Programs, and a strong commitment to the American Saddlebred community.

Since 1991, ASHBA has awarded nearly $400,000 in scholarships to young people whose dedication extends far beyond the show ring. Today's scholarship recipients are tomorrow's trainers, breeders, judges, veterinarians, educators, and industry leaders.

Your gift does more than offset the costs of college. Your gift tells these young leaders that their passion matters, their hard work is valued, and their future is worth investing in. Every donation helps ensure that financial need never stands in the way of the next generation preserving and promoting the American Saddlebred.

Whether you make a one-time gift or become a recurring donor, you are investing in the future of our breed and the young people who will lead it.
