Volunteers


Ariat Champions

Sponsored by Ariat International, the Champions program is an incentive-based equine service program to stimulate and reward volunteerism on behalf of horses.

The Champions program recognizes individuals who volunteer for equine charities participating on the EQUUS Foundation Equine Welfare Network. If your charity is not participating, have your charity join the Equine Welfare Network here.

Champion Benefits


Win Ariat Products!

Ariat International donates gift certificates each quarter to individuals who achieve Champion status. Each quarter, a drawing will be conducted where five (5) Champions will each receive a $270 Gift Certificate for Ariat Boots.


Win a Grant for Your Favorite Charity!

The EQUUS Foundation is dedicating a minimum of $5,000 in grants to be awarded to EQUUS Foundation Guardians with volunteers participating in the Champions Program.

At least ten (10) Guardians are randomly selected annually to each receive a grant of $500 based on the organization's volunteer participation in the Champions program during the past year. Please make sure you are enrolled by December 31, 2023 to improve your organization's chances to Win A Grant!


# # #
NOTE: As of January 1, 2022, we discontinued the Champion Scholarship program due to lack of participation; however, we are exploring other ways we can help at the national level to reward volunteers for their service. Please let us know your thoughts here! Please include your name and the name of the organization where you volunteer.
