Our Mission
The purpose of the Gordon Nelson Memorial Foundation is to raise and provide funds for scholarships, research grants
and other programs which promote the welfare of the general public as it relates to the equine industry.
Our History
Gordon Nelson was in his early fifties when he began riding.
Rapidly becoming enthusiastic in the sport, he enjoyed participating in western pleasure
competitions, both at the state and local levels, taking special interest in the trail class.
In his short riding career, Gordon emphasized sportsmanship, perseverance, leadership,
and learning.
In 1994, the Gordon Nelson Memorial Foundation (GNMF) was created in his memory. One of the
objectives of the GNMF is to offer annual equine-related educational scholarships.
