The National Snaffle Bit Association and The NSBA Foundation are pleased to announce the 2023 Youth of the Year Finalists. The Youth of the Year Award recognizes youth who demonstrate dedication through volunteer work for a worthy cause and is awarded annually by the NSBA Foundation. This award is given in conjunction with the Susan Scott Memorial Fund, which was established to honor Susan’s memory to rewarding young horsemen who give selflessly. Thanks to the generous support of NSBA membership, spearheaded by Susan’s daughter Nancy Ditty, her husband Seth and son Luke, the Susan Scott Memorial Fund has blossomed to award a $4,000 scholarship to the winner with a $1,000 stipend to each of the four national finalists. The winner of the Youth of the Year Award will also have a $500 donation made to the charity of their choice.
The 2023 Youth of the Year Finalists are:
- Nick Culwell – Louisville, Mississippi
- Anna Minich – Laport, Indiana
- JR Pickard – Ocala, Florida
- Sydney Sargent – Paris, Kentucky
- Olivia Wynn – Chana, Illinois
Congratulations to all five of the finalists, who will be recognized at the NSBA Honors Banquet on August 13th at the NSBA World Championship Show. In addition to celebrating the excellent service work and volunteerism of all five finalists, the winner of the Youth of the Year Award will also be announced at the 2023 NSBA Honors Banquet.
