In 2023 we added the ‘Youth Engagement’ portfolio to our Board’s objectives with the hope of promoting more involvement and leadership amongst our youth members. Through this initiative, Two separate youth awards were developed:

 

The ASHA of Alberta Youth Involvement Award is a scholarship intended to support a youth who has been an active and contributing member of the American Saddlebred Horse Association of Alberta, or to the communities in which they live, to support their post-secondary pursuits. The Board’s objective is to have this award be available for years to come.

 

The Attache’s Bada Bing Youth Bursary is intended to support a youth who is working hard, contributing to pay for their passion and to support their equestrian goals.
