Presentation of Farnam Breeders’ Trust Scholarships – Smith.<br />

APHA and Corporate Partner Farnam Horse Products recently announced winners of a new youth scholarship<br />

program designed to support the youth of the APHA, promote the Breeders’ Trust program and encourage<br />

APHA regional clubs to create outreach programs to local equine youth groups.<br />

Two $1,000 scholarships are being awarded this year, and AjPHA members became eligible for them by<br />

showing Breeders’ Trust nominated horses in APHA youth or novice youth classes during the qualifying period<br />

of April 1, 2012-March 31, 2013. Entries were earned by exhibiting in any APHA-approved event where<br />

Breeders’ Trust points were earned. Each youth who showed a Breeders’ Trust-nominated horse in a youth<br />

class earned one entry into the scholarship sweepstakes per judge, per class. In addition to the youth receiving<br />

the scholarship, each recipient was asked to select a regional club from their home state to receive $500 to fund<br />

an outreach program to local youth equine programs.<br />

This year’s youth all-ages exhibitor scholarship recipient is Anne-Marie Fortenberry from Farmerville,<br />

Louisiana, and the novice youth exhibitor scholarship recipient is Tiffany Payne from Cedar Falls, Iowa. These<br />

young ladies will be presented with their scholarships at the Youth Awards Banquet at the AjPHA Youth World<br />

Championship Show in June but are hereby recognized and the clubs they chose will be awarded their cash<br />

awards today. Sharon Bonner-Brown with Farnam presented checks to Mary Parrott and Sue Woodson, who<br />

represented the Louisiana PHC selected by Anne-Marie Fortenberry; and, Gregg Reisinger and Jerry Cable who<br />

represented the Iowa PHC, selected by novice winner Tiffany Payne<br />

Smith noted the 2013-2014 qualifying period* began April 1 and asked the Board encourage its youth club<br />

members to take part in this great new scholarship program. Special thanks were given to APHA Corporate<br />

Partner Farnam for its continued support.<br />

Note: The Executive Committee voted to discontinue Youth World Show qualifying for 2014, after receiving<br />

additional feedback, at its July 3, 2013 regular meeting.<br />
