The Bob Jenkins program was founded in 2019 by Cindy High-Fischmann as a tribute to her childhood mentor, Bob Jenkins, who supported her in getting started with Arabian horses. This is Cindy's way to pass on the legacy of supporting new youth and amateurs with showing our Arabian beautiful horses.

This sponsorship provides awards of $250 towards for Empire junior and amateur members showing at the Empire Spring Horse show, May 1-3, 2026, in their 1st or 2nd year showing at the Empire show. Additionally, we offer a "Welcome Back" option for those that haven't shown at the Empire show since 2018.

Thank you for the ongoing commitment and generous donation by Cindy High-Fischmann and an anonymous donor!
