Van Schaik Dressage ScholarshipThroughout his life, Dr. H.L.M. van Schaik fought to preserve the classical art of horsemanship in dressage. To van Schaik, this meant utilizing gentleness, psychology, and the horse’s innate qualities to develop a horse that is useful, willing, and correct in his work. To preserve and encourage the classical methods van Schaik so strongly believed in, the American Morgan Horse Institute (AMHI) shall make an annual award of $1,000 to a Morgan individual wishing to further his or her skill, knowledge, or proficiency in classically-ridden dressage. In selecting a candidate for this scholarship, emphasis will be placed on helping a rider move from the lower levels of dressage to the fourth level and above. Preference will be given to applicants who have competed with Morgan(s) at First Level Test 4 or above and received a 60 percent or higher score at a recognized competition. The scholarship must be used to further the training and education of the applicant and his/her Morgan(s). Eligible expenses include instruction, travel, and living expenses directly related to receiving instruction, instructional materials, etc. Following selection, the successful applicant must attest that he/she will continue to pursue dressage training on a Morgan for the duration of the scholarship. Previous van Schaik Dressage Scholarship winners are not eligible. Applications should be assembled in the following order, and include one original and three copies: 1. Application Cover Sheet 2. Narrative (up to 5 pages, typed, double spaced, 12-point type) 3. Two written letters of reference 4. Up to one page of photo(s) {Optional} Faxed or e-mailed copies/references will not be accepted.
