SCHOLARSHIPS
The National PHA sponsors a scholarship
program that is open to professional members
who are in good standing for two years or
more and children of professional members in
good standing for two years or more who are
enrolling in an approved school for the
advancement of their education past the
elementary level. The scholarship committee
will determine the amount and the number of
scholarships given.
THE
JUDY RICHTER ESSAY AWARD
is also presented at the FWPHA Awards
Dinner. Contestants in three age groups, 12
and under, 13-17, and
18 and over are asked to write an
essay on a topic that has been chosen for
that year. The committee then reads the
essays and chooses a winner from each age
group. The winners each receive a $500
certificate to be used for lessons with any
member in good standing of the FWPHA (check
to be sent directly to trainer), a junior
membership for one year, and all entry fees
on one horse ridden by the winner at either
of the two PHA horse shows. Application:

PROGRAM
consists of
hunter, jumper and
equitation

multiple medal classes in which riders of all
ages and skill levels, who have signed up
for the program, compete over the course of
