Ambassador Program (formerly called the Queen’s Court) has been in existence since 1955. The opportunity for young men to participate was given in 1995 to change the program to keep up with the times. The program has helped shy young girls to blossom into articulate and confident young women through their participation in the Ambassador Program. The program IS NOT a beauty or popularity contest bu
t rather another opportunity for young people to compete using their equestrian skills and knowledge. Ambassador Activities-
All of the Jr. Ambassador awards and activities are paid for and purchased through sponsors and fund raising. Ambassadors participate in many activities as a group such as: horse camping, trail rides, trips to amusement parks, ride their horses in local parades, BBQ/ pool parties etc. Ambassadors attend many community events as representatives of Equestrian Trails, as well as participate in community service activities such as volunteer at Therapeutic Riding Schools, Libraries, hospitals etc.
