Congratulations to Helen Ferguson, the newest Region 6 Gifted Fund Recipient

January 12th, 2007
Congratulations to Helen Ferguson, the North Willamette Valley Chapter Treasurer and Treasurer and member on the ODS Championship Show Committee. She and her horse Galahad have been awarded the 2006 Gifted Fund $750 scholarship to study with Dr. Thomas Ritter.

The Gifted Fund was established at The Dressage Foundation “To provide funding support for Adult Amateur Dressage riders who are working to sharpen their skills.” The objective of the Gifted Fund is to enable the adult amateur Dressage rider to set aside time to take some concentrated work with their horse/s and trainer/s, away from the pressures of job and family. The Gifted Fund was seeded with Donations from Carol Lavell, which were received in special remembrance of her great Dressage Horse, “Gifted.” Dressage enthusiasts who are particularly interested in assisting adult amateurs are also giving support to this Fund.

For more information, please visit the Dressage Foundation Website. The 2007 Gifted Fund Application Deadline is September 14, 2007.
