Wednesday, March 3, 2021
The United Professional Horsemen's Association Foundation is excited to announce the creation of a new grant for UPHA members. The UPHA Foundation will offer grants of up to $5,000, thanks to a generous contribution by the former Tampa Charity Horse Show, chaired for many years by Becky Buffington, and matched by the UPHA Foundation. The grants support UPHA members who want to build and expand their skills and knowledge needed in their equine business endeavors.
