The Ellis County Equine Youth Association is a very
active horse club where youth can gather together for
some great fun and educational youth activities. ECEYA
attends several clinics, trail rides, field trips, and
social events throughout the year. A high light of
their year, is organizing and promoting their own
Youth Schooling Show where they raise money for their
year end field trip, participation trophies and
sportsmanship buckle.
Each youth who participates in at least four ECEA
activities during a calendar year, will receive a
participation award at the club's year-end award
banquet. Also awarded at the banquet, is the Nancy
Jessup Sportsmanship Award belt buckle, for which only
the youth vote for whom best epitomizes a good sport
during the year's competitions. Some come join in and
have some good "horsey" fun in 2010!
