Mary Kingsbury Award

The 2024 Mary Kingsbury Sportsmanship Award is generously sponsored by the Lackey Family.

The Mary Kingsbury Award is presented annually, during the NCHA Futurity, to an Amateur who exhibits integrity, kindness, honesty, respect, good sportsmanship, fairness, and compassion for people and horses in and out of the arena.

Any Amateur, in good standing, may be nominated by an NCHA member by submitting a written letter or online nomination form by October 7th.

Members of the selection committee are not eligible for nomination or to submit nominees.

The recipient, selected by the Amateur Committee, will be honored with an NCHA bronze trophy and their name will be added to the Mary Kingsbury Sportsmanship Plaque at the NCHA office.

The nomination period for 2024 is over. But make a note and remember to tell us your Mary Kingsbury Amateur Sportsmanship award nominee next year!
