Dear Rider:
If you would like to apply for grants from the American Horse Trials Foundation, Inc, please read our brochure and the Eligibility, Fundraising & Competition Grant Guidelines. After reading those documents you will need to submit an Eligibility Statement and Grant Application, both of which can be found on this site. Please read the Eligibility Statement carefully and submit all of the information that is requested.

The minimum eligibility requirement for adult riders is that they have completed a three-day event at the preliminary level or better. The minimum requirement for young riders is completion of a horse trial at the preliminary level or better. Dressage riders must be competing at the Prix St. George level or above.

Please keep in mind that the Foundation does no fundraising. That is the responsibility of the individual rider or event.

Thank you for your interest. Please call me with your questions before applying.
