The American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) is pleased to announce the inaugural ASHA Breed Ambassador Award winners.

The ASHA Breed Ambassador Award was designed to recognize those actively promoting the American Saddlebred throughout the year. The ASHA Breed Ambassador Award program recognizes high point winners in ten regions and Europe in three divisions: Individual, Barn and Charter Club, as well as a World Champion and Reserve World Champion in each division.
