Horseman's Association of Texoma - 2005 HAT Scholarship

2005 HAT Scholarship Awarded at Youth Show

HAT announced the recipient of its 2005 Youth Scholarship during the annual Youth Clinic and Show on June 18th. Joanne Kremer, a 2005 graduate of Bells High School and the daughter of Annie Kremer and the late Richard Kremer, was selected from several entries to receive the $500 scholarship, which is awarded annually to a Texoma-area high school senior who is actively involved in equine activities. On hand to present the award to Joanne were Roger Dougan, HAT President, and Sandra Shiver, HAT 2nd Vice President and Scholarship Committee Chair.

Joanne has been very active in extracurricular activities, including serving as District IV 4-H Council Officer, Grayson County 4-H President, Best Friends 4-H Club President, Helping Hands 4-H Club President, and currently serving as the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Region III President in addition to serving as president of the local FCCLA chapter. She also participates in UIL Academic competitions, is active in youth church activities, and served as the team mascot.

But, it is from owning and caring for two Quarter Horse geldings, Old Man and Tex, that Joanne has come to realize that life is meant to help others. She hopes to accomplish this by becoming an animal nutritionist. Joanne is enrolled at Grayson County College, with plans to attend Texas A&M.

We wish Joanne well as she continues her educational pursuits.
