HOW DOES MY GIFT HELP?
The impact of your gift is felt immediately with 100% of donations going to programming, marketing and education. By donating to the Annual Fund, you are giving the ASHBA expendable funds that can be applied where most needed, benefitting the needs of our members, horses and programs. Your contribution could instead be allocated to the Youth Scholarship Fund or Equine Welfare Fund. Read more about ASHBA's Funds below and support the area of your choice.

YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Growing up with an American Saddlebred teaches youth the values of compassion, dedication and hard work. They learn to become leaders and visionaries. For youth who strive to turn their passion into a career, scholarships can help make higher education affordable. Since 1991, the Association has awarded approximately $400,000 in financial assistance to ASBHA youth pursuing higher education. We invite you to help us make their dreams come true!
EQUINE WELFARE FUND
The Equine Welfare Fund was started to guard the breed’s welfare on an individual basis by providing assistance in the care and placement of neglected American Saddlebred horses. Services may include on-site inspection and identification, court assistance and transfers to responsible ownership. Help us safeguard the well-being of these magnificent animals.
