AMERICAN HORSE TRIALS FOUNDATION, INC.

Monetary contributions towards Courtney's training and competition fund can be tax deductible.

The American Horse Trials Foundation is a nonprofit corporation established to assist Three Day Event Riders and Organizers in raising tax-deductible financial support for national and international competition.  Eventing is one of the three Olympic Equestrian sports, with its origins in cavalry training—combining the very diverse disciplines of dressage, cross-country riding, and show jumping.

Event riders who are bona fide national or international level competitors are eligible to apply for grants from the American Horse Trials Foundation to further their preparation for Olympic or World Championship competition.

At this time the American Horse Trials Foundation beneficiaries include many of the top Eventers in the country including riders from the US Olympic and World Championship Teams.

Since its inception in 1987, the American Horse Trials Foundation has distributed over $2.2 million directly to Eventers for competition activities, while only about five percent of contributions have gone for the cost of administration.

The American Horse Trials Foundation has been granted tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All contributions are deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.  The American Horse Trials Foundation is a member of the American Horse Shows Association, the United States Equestrian Team, and the United States Combined Training Association, and participates in the United States Olympic Committee Job Opportunities Program.

To make a contribution through the American Horse Trials Foundation, mail a check payable to: The American Horse Trials Foundation, Inc.  Please enclose a note indicating that the check is for Courtney Cooper; however, please do not write "Courtney Cooper" on the check itself.
