Many of us are blessed to have championship buckles we have never worn. This is your opportunity to put a smile on an amazing handicapped child's face. These children that the buckles will be going to are amazing. They all ride horses and do fun activities and have showdeos every year. The buckles would be awarded to the kids at their events.

Here are the requirements.

Buckle:
- Never has been worn please.
- No older than 2000.
- We would prefer no name on the buckle.
- Must be a Championship buckle. (All the kids are Champions in our eyes.)
- It needs to come in the box that you received the buckle in so it looks nice.

Note: Included in buckle box.
- 3in x 5in index card.
- Personalized message on index card needs to be in your handwriting.
Example:

Congratulations on your riding achievements! Great job on using your riding skills you have learned at the New Horizon Ranch to accomplish your goals.
Sincerely-
Paige Wiseman
2015 KHSRA Goat Tying Champion

Championship Buckles for the Brave Ones was an idea that my family and I came up with a few years ago. I am posting this picture in the memory of Josh, a New Horizon Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center student. I received this note from Joy, a founder of the center........."Had to share with you that today at the visitation for our rider, Josh, his mom put his buckle that he got at our horse show (one of the ones that Championship Buckles for the Brave Ones got donated) on his casket. It warmed my heart and I just wanted you to know that the great work this project did is still giving back and making a difference! That buckle represented 9 years of him finding joy on his horse. It was so sweet!"
Our hearts and prayers go out to Josh and his family. I am so grateful we were able to make his life special and bring joy to him.
