Elysium Farm Fund for U.S. Breeder Excellence

The Elysium Farm Fund for U.S. Breeder Excellence was established at The Dressage Foundation in 2011 to help support breeding programs in the United States. The Fund provides financial assistance to breeders to pursue educational opportunities related to breeding that will advance their careers, promote sound breeding practices and further enhance the quality of U.S.-bred dressage horses.

Specifically, the Elysium Farm Fund for U.S. Breeder Excellence at The Dressage Foundation supports attendance at educational programs related to breeding, such as a USDF Sport Horse Seminar, the American Hanoverian Society Breed Orientation Course, the Hannoveraner Verband’s Breed Orientation Course, or similar educational program.

No preference is given to programs focusing on a particular breed.  Preference is given to USDF members.

The maximum amount to be awarded will be $1,000 per year for programs held in the U.S. and up to $5,000 per year for programs held overseas.  The amount awarded will depend on the financial plan provided as part of the application.

It is required that complete application packets arrive in The Dressage Foundation's office on or before May 1st of each year.  Grant announcements will be made by August 1st.
