Ten outstanding finalists will be selected from the applications to compete for the Y.E.S. scholarships and the title of Grand Champion (receives $2,000) and Reserve Grand Champion (receives $1,000). These finalists will create a video to play as part of their live interview, execute their plan for an educational visual display during NWSS and interact with the public in an educational setting during NWSS.

#6. What is your favorite class to compete in? Why? Ashley’s favorite classes to compete in are Hunter Under Saddle and Disciplined Rail. “Disciplined Rial demonstrates the willingness of the horse to do the task given, while Hunter Under Saddle allows the horse to move free and naturally,” Carns says.
