FRIENDS OF THE NYCHA AWARD
The Friend of the NYCHA is awarded to donors and supporters of the National Youth Cutting Horse Association who have made a significant financial or personal contribution to the association. This award is given annually during the NYCHA awards banquet to youth supporters who have exhibited a long-term commitment to the success of the youth program. The honoree must contribute to NYCHA at a national level that potentially benefits all youth members. Award recipients are nominated by fellow members of the NCHA before undergoing review by NCHA Staff. Shannon is the proud recipient of the 2023 Friends of the NYCHA Award.
NRCHA SPONSOR AWARD
As a proud sponsor of the National Reined Cow Horse Association, Shannon created the original painting ‘JAQUIMA’ for the NRCHA. The original was auctioned off at the NRCHA Stallion Stakes, Hall of Fame banquet in Las Vegas, NV in March, 2023. With a hammer price of $12,500 all proceeds went to support the NRCHA Youth for their upcoming Scholarships & Activities. This photograph says it all!
