Our long-time friend Rick McMasters passed away on March 14th, 2014 after suffering a heart attack. He was a great asset to the PtHA through his involvement in judging. He was also inducted into our Judges Hall of Fame and was Vice Chairman of the PtHA Judges Committee.
“Rick’s presence in the arena always put a smile on my face,” said Darrell Bilke, PtHA Executive Vice President and COO. “The equine industry lost an esteemed judge and a true horseman. Thank you, Rick, for helping make our world show and congress what they are today.”
Our condolences go out to the McMasters family. The Pinto Heritage Foundation has established a scholarship fund in Rick’s name. Donations can be mailed to:
