Ribbons of Service Program
What if … every time you rode through the gate, you were helping someone in need?
Now, saddleseat equitation riders can ride with a new reason in mind: raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the rider’s selected charity.
“It’s a shared-commitment program that encourages riders to show an American Saddlebred, Arabian (including Half-Arabian), Morgan or National Show Horse in saddleseat equitation competitions, and encourages donors to pledge funds for charity for each class in which the rider shows. The rider is not only responsible for raising the donations, but for performing community service as part of his or her own contribution to the effort,” said UPHA President Jim Taylor. - LEARN MORE |

Pink Ribbon Class
UPHA proudly introduces its program to help horse shows engage communities, showcase our show horses, and raise much-needed funds for breast cancer research, awareness, and treatment: the UPHA Pink Ribbon Class.
After the inaugural class at the 2007 UPHA American Royal National Championship Horse Show raised more than $16,000 and received enthusiastic support from the Royal attendees and Kansas City community, UPHA organized this program so that horse shows across the United States could participate in the effort, as well. And, we’ve set a goal: to raise $100,000 for this important cause.
