Equestrian blog Horse Junkies United has developed an exciting new educational opportunity for Adult Amateur riders. After posing the question “If someone were to put a program together to benefit ammie riders, what should it offer?” Bloggers and readers agreed that education is at the top of the list.
Thus was created the Horse Junkies United Ammie Educational Grant, presented by ECOGOLD. Available to adult amateur riders aged 25 years-old or older, the grant will cover the cost to enter a clinic, lesson with a pro or symposium.
"ECOGOLD is extremely proud to provide the necessary funding to launch Horse Junkies United's Ammie Educational Grant program” said Ecogold Marketing VP Patricia Da Silva. “Adult amateur riders are at the core of the sport and we feel it is important to invest in their development and help them become better riders.”
The educational opportunities can be in any of the three English disciplines: Hunter/Jumper, Eventing or Dressage. Applicants must be at least 25 years old and write an article about their journey and goals as a rider and provide details of the educational experience that they would like to attend. A winner will be picked at random, among all entries that respect the guidelines.
Winners also must write a report of their educational experience which will be published on Horse Junkies United.
The first grant will be awarded in January, 2012 for an educational opportunity taking place in February, March or April 2012. The grant will cover the entry fee or auditing fee only and will be paid directly to the event. Travel and other costs will be at the rider’s expense. The deadline for submissions is January 27, 2012. To be considered, send your article, information about the educational opportunity, as well as a photo to info@horsejunkiesunited.com.
