The grant from TDF’s George Williams Fund for Young Professionals allowed me to continue my judging journey and enter into Part 2 of the ‘L’ Program.
I very much enjoyed this experience and education, and I plan on applying to continue forward with the ‘r’ program. I am now able to fast-track my judging career, thank you to TDF, as I was able to become an ‘L’ with distinction within two years of beginning the process of the ‘L’ program. I very much look forward to my future of judging, and to continuing my own education within this sport as a rider and trainer, but now also as a judge.
I have the utmost gratitude in my heart for having and organizing so many grants that help riders and trainers of all skill levels and professionalism; it is truly amazing the community behind TDF to help support people like me who are chasing our dreams. Further, thank you to all of the donors who were able to fund the George Williams grant, and to George Williams himself for being such an amazing influence in this sport with his dedication to education.
