The Youth
Scholarship Fund of IBHA was founded in 1987 as a seperate not for
profit corporation to aid in the
continued education of IBHA Youth. An auction is held twice
annually in conjunction with the IBHA Convention and IBHA World
Show to raise funds. Past auctions have included personal
appearances by Sonny Shroyer ("Enos"), Christina Paine ("Resistol"
spokesmodel) and Mike Moroff ("LaBomba" and "Robocop" to name a
few). If you would like to contribute to the Youth Scholarship
Fund, send your donation to IBHA, P O Box 268, Shelby, IN 46377.
In addition to
the scholarship auctions, the Youth Scholarship Fund of IBHA is
currently running two fund raising projects. Available for
purchase is "The Buckskin" by Orren Mixer and official IBHA hats.
 Commissioned
in 1996 and completed in 1998, The Buckskin was unveiled at the
1998 IBHA World Championship Show. The painting depicts 19 horses.
The buckskin stallion and his band of 9 mares and 9 foals reveal
the various shades of the buckskin, dun, red dun and grulla horses
accepted for IBHA registration. The limited edition of 100 artist
remarques were sold at the unveiling of the painting and are now
only available from private individuals. There are some of the 400
numbered and autographed prints (22X28) available from IBHA (see
form below) and from the AQHA Heritage Center and Museum in
Amarillo. The original painting can be viewed at the AQHA Heritage
Center where it is on display as a loan from the scholarship fund.

The new official IBHA hats
that were introduced at the 2002 IBHA World Show now come in two
qualities of beaver fur felt and are hand made. IBHA commissioned
Darrell Sullivan of Las Cruces, New Mexico to personally hand
craft each IBHA hat. A master hatter, Mr Sullivan is a 3rd
generation hat maker. A top of the line 30X beaver fur is
available in platinum and black colors. All sizes are available in
regular and long oval. The hats are made exclusive for IBHA.
Proceeds of the sale of the hats go to the IBHA Youth Scholarship
Fund. The 20X hats sell for $265.00 plus $10.00 shipping. The 30X
hats sell for $295.00 plus $10.00 shipping. The hats compare to
$385.00 and $470.00 prices of major brand name manufactured hats.
