The American Hackney Horse Society applied for and has received a Membership Incentive Grant in the amount of $2,251 from US Equestrian.

The AHHS Board of Directors, at its March 9, 2018, meeting, voted to allocate $500 of the grant monies to produce an educational and instructional video regarding the AHHS Youth Medallion Showmanship in Hand program, and to allocate the reminder of the funds to support promotion and demonstrations of the Hackney breed, in different disciplines, at the Equine Affaire to be held in Columbus, Ohio from April 12-14, 2018. 

The receipt of the grant money from USEF and the allocation of funds was announced at the AHHS General Membership meeting on March 10, 2018. The members in attendance were encouraged to become USEF members, selecting the Hackney breed/discipline as primary on their USEF membership, as the funding for USEF grant is dependent upon AHHS membership numbers in the USEF.
