Scholarship |
The young generation is very important to the Walking Horse Trainers Association. To support the educational efforts of those in need, a yearly scholarship fund was established. This very proactive venture has proved most worthwhile in helping our future generation progress. This year the Walking Horse Trainers Association will again award a scholarship(s).
Other supportive projects specifically related to the young people, include: 4-H Youth Projects, Co-Sponsor of the Annual Youth Celebration dance, and past generous donations to the Bedford County Medical Center Pediatric Wing.
