True horsemanship is not confined to the arena. It shows up in how you manage your time when school, training, and responsibilities compete for attention. It shapes the way you handle pressure, whether you’re riding into a jump-off or sitting for an exam. It teaches accountability, resilience, and patience long before those traits are expected of you in the professional world. The Farm House Excellence in Horsemanship Scholarship awards $2,000 to one high school senior or college student who embodies those standards in both competition and character.

Created to give back to the English riding community that built us, this scholarship reflects the values that have guided The Farm House from the beginning. Our founder, Patricia Lehner, believed that excellence is not defined by ribbons alone, but by the way a rider carries themselves in the barn, in the ring, and beyond it.
We are proud to support the next generation of equestrians who understand that horsemanship is a lifelong pursuit, and that the lessons learned in the saddle extend far beyond it.
