Memorial Awards

Winners of the Wisconsin State 4-H Horse Association Sportsmanship Award

A sportsmanship award should be one of the proudest awards that is received. In recounts your character, how you treat others, how you handle difficult situations, and how you live the 4-H motto to make the best better. It speaks of a member that thinks of others and makes sure that everyone feels like a space is everyone’s place. The award takes into account more than a moment or a specific time but of how someone lives and breathes sportsmanship as a way of being.

Heidi Major Sportsmanship Award

Heidi Major was a young mother and member of the Clover 4-H. She had a lifelong love of horses and excelled in competition. Heidi had the unique ability to encourage those around her and coax that little bit of extra effort and courage out of beginning equestrians. She also had the determination, skill, and savvy to work for the best as a team with her horse. Heidi believed that, regardless of ribbons or trophies, anyone who participates and goes after their goal finds victory in the day.

The recipient of this award will be chosen by the horse project leaders, based on qualities of sportsmanship and character.
