CLARKE OWENS MEMORIAL TROPHY FOR SPORTSMANSHIP

Recognizes the rider who exhibits the most sportsmanlike attitude towards their fellow riders with their encouragement and helpfulness.

RYAN 

Clarke Owens was a faithful volunteer for the first 10 years of the MVSRA, bringing two or three horses each week.  Clarke and his family also supplied a team and wagon for parades for many years.  No matter what the weather, Clarke could be seen riding and trailering his horses down the road to the Cow Palace.  Clarke's dedication and quiet good humour was an encouragement to volunteers and riders alike.

RYAN BOUTWELL MEMORIAL TROPHY FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGE

Recognizes the rider who has overcome a significant challenge to enjoy and improve their riding skills.

DAWSYN 

Ryan was a little boy who started riding with MVSRA when he was eight years old.  Ryan could not walk or talk and was also hearing and visually impaired.  When he first started to ride he required total support from his side walkers, but by his third year he could balance himself for several rounds around the arena.  Ryan loved to ride and cuddle his pony and you could often hear him giggling as he experienced the freedom of movement.  He was especially proud the summer he rode Blondie in the Olds Parade.

ANNE OVERWATER MEMORIAL TROPHY FOR MOST IMPROVED INDEPENDENT RIDER

BRIANNA 

Anne Overwater was born in MB, and moved to Didsbury in 1962.  She attended school in Didsbury and graduated from Horizon School in Olds.  She worked at the Olds Bottle Depot as well as the Didsbury Hospital as a volunteer in the recycling department.  Anne's first love was bowling but her second love was horseback riding.  She loved animals and the company of her fellow riders and volunteers.

EARL STEWART MEMORIAL TROPHY FOR HORSEMANSHIP

CHRISTINE 

A longtime resident of Mountain View County, Earl was a veteran of WW II in the Canadian Cavalry.  He enjoyed living in the county and loved to ride, working on many farms and ranches to be near the horses.  In his later years, as a resident of the Didsbury Hospital, he was able to continue riding with MVSRA.  Earl's family has sponsored this award because of Earl's love for the horses and riding.
