“Our sponsors decided to continue their support and donate to the amateur and open halter classes at the Lucas Oil World,” said Pete Kyle, AQHA chief show officer. “Steve and Kathy Headley are donating $150,000 and Linda Gordon is also donating $150,000, while Terry and Tammy Bradshaw are donating $153,000, totaling $453,000 in halter support through 2020!” 

Michael logged in most of his hours at Reach Therapeutic Riding Center in McGregor, Texas, assisting riders with autism, physical and mental challenges, and veterans. Michael says he appreciated the opportunity to assist riders in the center’s program.

“Knowing that our $5,000 gift would be matched by the Dogwood Foundation to create a $10,000 gift made our decision to support AQHLead even more clear,” said Ken, a past president of the American Quarter Horse Association. “The young people benefiting from this program are the future of our industry.”
