Nominations Invited for EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award

The EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award was established by the United States Equestrian Federation and the EQUUS Foundation to celebrate the humanitarian achievements made by a member of the equine community. Specifically, the goal of the award is to spotlight and honor the selfless dedication of an individual or a group of individuals to horse welfare, whether on a regional or national scale.

The award will be presented to an individual or group of individuals who have devoted considerable personal time to making the quality of life of horses paramount — from improving the health and welfare of the horse to promoting and expanding the general public's appreciation and respect of the diverse role of horses not just in equestrian sports but also as aides to the general public.

The award is limited to individuals. Corporations, organizations, affiliate groups, and businesses are not eligible.

Any member of the equestrian community may submit an award nomination. Nominations may be made by individuals or organizations.

The awardee will receive a $5,000 grant from the EQUUS Foundation to be presented to the equestrian or horse-related charity of his or her choice.

Complete nomination information and the online nomination form are available at the EQUUS Foundation Web site.
