JR/SR ABRA Youth Ambassador Program

The ABRA Youth Ambassador Program is designed for youth 18 years and under who are passionate about horses and actively promote and support the American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) and its events, programs, and mission.

This leadership program provides young equestrians with the opportunity to represent ABRA, develop confidence, and serve as positive role models within the equine community.

Youth Ambassador Age Divisions

The program includes two age groups:

• Senior Youth Ambassador (ages 14–18)

• Junior Youth Ambassador (ages 13 and under)

ABRA Youth Ambassador Competition

Youth Ambassador contestants compete during the Annual ABRA World Championship Show, where participants perform age-appropriate horsemanship patterns as part of the selection process. Winners earn the opportunity to represent ABRA as official Youth Ambassadors for a one-year term.

At the conclusion of their term, Ambassadors pass their titles on to the next year’s winners—continuing the tradition of youth leadership within ABRA.

Youth Ambassador Recognition & Awards

Selected Youth Ambassadors receive:

• An embroidered Youth Ambassador sash

• A personalized silver buckle

• Recognition throughout the year as official representatives of ABRA

Both Youth Ambassador contestants and reigning Youth Ambassadors are featured in the official ABRA World Show Souvenir Program, as well as on the ABRA website and social media platforms.
