2001 AMHA Other Arenas Program
Congratulations to all our AMHA Other Arenas Program participants! This year AMHA was honored to have industry professionals in commercial art/graphic design, advertising/marketing/publications/education, and photography fields to serve as judges for the 2001 contests. These professionals, most involved in some aspect of the horse industry donated their time to thoroughly evaluate each entry and provide feedback to each participant. A big thanks goes out to our contest sponsors as well!

Note for 2002: The August 15 deadline for all entries will be enforced in 2002. AMHA encourages participants to ship their items to the National Office by the August 15 deadline.

Hardback Journal for 1st-place award sponsored by AMHA Youth General Fund

1st place - Crystal Marinoske, Alberta, CAN
"a little girl, her seventh birthday, sat trembling with excitement in the stands as her daddy bought her first mini. She yelled above the crowd, "Thank you Daddy," and the auctioneer laughed. To the little girl, the minis were friends that could always stay with her. That little girl was me, and the lady a hope of what will become. Miniature Horses fill a different role for everyone, and they have filled many for me over the years"

2nd place - Courtney Bache, N. Dighton, MA
"They had not only revived my spirit but also raised my self-esteem level and taught me how to love an animal so deeply nothing could ever break the bond between them. In life I think that animals are healers of the heart"

3rd place - Lisa Vandeberg, Briggsdale, CO
"The American Miniature Horse can be described in one sentence: "A very small equine with a very large heart." This very statement is Why I have the passion to own, raise and breed Miniature Horses the rest of my life"

Participants - Hannah Blair - Covington, TX; Lauren Greaves - Buda, TX;
