FOSH Announces Over $5,000 in Prizes for Natural Horsemanship Contest
Equestrian News Release
Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) is pleased to announce that it will award $500 each to ten finalists in its Natural Horsemanship Challenge and additional prizes to ten semi-finalists. To be eligible, youths between the ages of 8 and 18 residing in Tennessee or Kentucky must show off their natural horsemanship skills with their Tennessee Walking Horse.
FOSH is interested in demonstrations of how Tennessee Walking Horses can excel with natural horsemanship techniques. Youths are encouraged to use their creativity to highlight their horse’s special talent or skill—something unique, humorous or imaginative that was developed using natural horsemanship.
To enter the challenge, interested contestants must submit a completed FOSH application form and a DVD, video or 1,000 word essay and photos demonstrating their natural horsemanship expertise with their Tennessee Walking Horse. Examples might include riding at the running walk with only a rope halter, dancing to music with a horse or teaching a horse a trick or pattern.
To be eligible, horses must be light-shod or barefoot, and participants must be between the ages of 8 and 18 as of June 30, 2007. The postmark deadline for submissions is June 30, 2007. A free motivational DVD with examples of natural horsemanship training and a listing of over 100 natural horsemanship clinicians is available from FOSH by emailing contest@fosh.info.
FOSH is a national leader in the promotion of natural, sound gaited horses and in the fight against abuse and soring of Tennessee Walking Horses. For more information about FOSH, to become a member or obtain a contest application form, please visit http://www.fosh.info or call 800-651-7993.
