Vickey Bowman Memorial Fund and Trophy

Vickey Bowman was a pillar in the Arabian horse community in Utah for over fifty years. She trained and operated Silver Lane Training Center in Lehi, Utah. Vickey was known for her honesty, generosity and love of the Arabian horse. Vickey believed that everyone should have equal access to show and would go out of her way to help whether that was finding you clothes, discounting show fees, or helping you find the perfect horse. She did this all quietly.

The Board of AHA Utah is pleased to offer the Vickey Bowman Memorial Fund to help support riders in the Utah Arabian Horse Community.
