Big money was on the line for Youth halter classes at the AjPHA Youth World Championship Show, thanks to a visionary group of supporters who recognize the value of supporting the next generation of halter enthusiasts.
Each world championship halter class—10 in all—had more than $5,800 in scholarships available for exhibitors placing first through sixth, plus a randomly drawn scholarship.
In addition to more money on the line than ever before, new for 2015 were rookie, no trainer and intermediate scholarships. Rookie scholarships, valued at $250, were awarded in each class to the highest-placing exhibitor who had never before shown at the APHA or AjPHA Youth World Championship Show. Scholarships for $250 were awarded in each class to the highest-pacing Youth showing without receiving assistance from a trainer in the last 120 days. The Layne Barrett Armstrong Intermediate Scholarships, valued at $500 each, were awarded to the highest-placing overall Intermediate exhibitor—one who has never placed in the Top Five of a halter class at the AjPHA Youth world Championship Show—in mares and geldings.
These awesome scholarships are made possible by the American Paint Horse Foundation and the Halter Industry Friends, a group of dedicated halter supporters—check out the full list of donors here.
Congratulations to our Youth who are taking home big bucks for college thanks to our Halter Industry Friends and APHF.
