The Fund’s goal is to help deserving riders by awarding a funds voucher for riding lessons or attendance of a Massachusetts horsemanship camp or Therapeutic program.
Recognizing that there are many young riders who display a true desire to learn about horses and a willingness to work hard to that end, the MHC in conjunction with Days of Champions have decided to offer vouchers to applicants that are nominated by their Massachusetts Licensed Instructor or Qualified Director of a Horsemanship or Camp Program.
Vouchers will be awarded up to the amount of $500.00 per recipient per voucher, as proscribed by the Massachusetts Tax laws.
- The program is open to juniors under the age of 18 as defined by MHC rules.
- The applicant rider, or an Adult Sponsor, or the applicant's Trainer, Instructor or Program Director must write a letter to the MHC, explaining why they are deserving of financial assistance in order to start or continue horseback riding,and a description of how the Assistance Funds would be applied must accompany the application.
- A completed Application Form and the letter should be mailed to the Fund Secratary at the address listed on the application form. A link to download the application form here:
