The Veronica Holt Dressage Technical Delegate Grant Fund was established in memory of Veronica, a dedicated Technical Delegate (TD) and FEI Steward who provided training and mentorship for many Dressage TDs and apprentice Dressage TDs. This new Fund, established by Veronica’s friends and colleagues, is a fitting tribute to her memory and a continuation of her presence within the dressage community.

One $500 grant will be awarded annually to a USEF Dressage Technical Delegate who has been approved by the USEF License Official Committee to gain promotion from ‘r’ (Recorded) to ‘R’ (Registered). The grant is to be used by the recipient to pay for costs associated with completing apprenticeship requirements at competitions. As the fund balance grows, the amount and number of grants awarded may increase.

The grant application is available on The Dressage Foundation’s website, with a deadline of July 1st of each year. The grant announcement will be made no later than September.
