Partnership Announced Between FOSH and ACTHA
Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an educational partnership with ACTHA, the American Competitive Trail Horse Association.
ACTHA founder, Carrie Scrima, and FOSH Vice President, Dianne Little, agree that “the formation of this educational partnership is the perfect venue to aid and assist the health and welfare of our fellow equines and reward the abilities of gaited horses.”
Both ACTHA and FOSH are committed to providing an enjoyable venue that recognizes and rewards the abilities of all horses on the trail. ACTHA venues provide the horse and rider team an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. FOSH supports ACTHA by providing education to Obstacle Judges regarding the movement of gaited horses. FOSH also verifies entries in the ACTHA Gaited Medal division.
