The Mississippi State Equine Association is fulfilling a vision to further equine education by establishing a scholarship endowment at Mississippi State.
Since 2006, MSEA officials have worked to create the Mississippi State Equine Association Endowed Scholarship to encourage beneficial equine practices. Based in the university's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the leadership and academic recognition award will assist animal science majors who are pursuing pre-veterinary studies.
State of MS Horse Show High Point Winners
Congratulations to the SMHA members who were high point winners at last years State of MS Horse Show. Mr. James Watts from the Mississippi State Equine Association was present at our banquet. The Mississippi State Equine Association donated ALL High Point Belt buckles for the State Show. Mr. Watts spoke to us during the meal portion of the banquet. He informed our members about MSEA and what they hope to achieve.
MSEA is a non-profit organization. Their purpose is to promote the equine industry. 100% of their funds are generated by MSEA membership, the SaddleUp vehicle license plates and by donation. All of the funds raised are put back into equine related activities/events.
