EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award Nominations Open

Nominations are now being accepted for the EQUUS Foundation's highest honor. The EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award was established to celebrate the humanitarian achievements made by members of the equine community.

From improving the health and welfare of the horse, to promoting and expanding the general public's appreciation and respect of the diverse role of horses, the recipient of this award will be an individual or group of individuals who has devoted considerable personal time to making the quality of life of our equine partners paramount.

The 2023 Humanitarian Award will be presented at the Pegasus Awards Dinner on January 14, 2024, during the US Equestrian Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. The Humanitarian Award recipient will have the opportunity to select an equine charity on the Foundation's Equine Welfare Network to receive a $5,000 grant from the EQUUS Foundation.

Nominations close on November 15
