The NHSRA is proud to announce the "Professional's Choice Equine Athlete of the Month" program.
The program honors and recognizes the horse of one girl and one boy each month. To be eligible for the honor, students must submit an application to the NHSRA national office in Denver. Horses do NOT need to be registered in order to qualify for this program.
Winners are featured each month in the NHSRA Times.
