Grants and Scholarships
 At our Ranch Horse Clinic and Show on 7/13 and 7/14/18 our FANTASTIC clinicians and show judges from Texas A&M – Dr. Jennifer Zoller and Chelsie Huseman - requested that we donate their clinic and judging fees to the Texas State 4-H Horse Show!! We are
proud to support the Texas 4-H Horse Kids!
Congratulations to two of our 2018 scholarship recipients who received their scholarships at our Ranch Horse Show on July 14. Cindy Swartzel and Luke Haydon Cindy Swartzel has been a fixture at CAQHA Shows since 2013. Even when she didn't have a horse to ride at the shows, Cindy was there as a volunteer! From scribe, to trail obstacle setup and take-down, to photographer, office help and everything in between - Cindy would jump in and help where ever she was needed. Now showing in our Ranch Horse Shows, Cindy and Honor can also be found helping other exhibitors with patterns and answering questions. She's a TERRIFIC ambassador for CAQHA! Cindy will be attending UT this fall with a dual-degree track in Biochemistry and English. Did we mention she is also really, really smart : - ) . Congratulations Cindy! Luke Haydon is perhaps the youngest, longest volunteer in the history of CAQHA! He was handing out ribbons all day long at our end gates when he was just a young boy! With his brothers, Zach & Jarrett, he was a fixture at CAQHA shows for over 10 years giving of his time and skills. Luke is attending Texas A&M Kingsville and planning to major in Agribusiness and Economics! Gig 'em Luke! We are so proud of all your accomplishments in and out of the saddle! |
