American Horse Publications: AHP Champion Awards

AHP Champion Award

American Horse Publications presents 2011 AHP Champion Awards to Four Former AHP Presidents in San Diego

In 2007, American Horse Publications created the AHP Champion Award which is presented to individuals who are instrumental in the development and growth of the association. Collectively, the winners are known as the AHP Circle of Champions.

The Executive Committee presented its recommendations for nominees at its mid-year meeting, where the Board approved awarding the 2011 AHP Champion Award to four individuals who were former AHP Presidents.

The 2011 AHP Champion Award inductees were announced at the AHP Hoofprints in the Sand Seminar in San Diego, California, on June 18, 2011, during the Special Awards Luncheon.

AHP is truly grateful for these individuals who played an instrumental role in the growth of the association.
