On June 16, the American Horse Council (AHC) presented the Van Ness Award to Yvette Anderson-Rollins of Springville, Indiana, during the organization’s annual meeting in Washington, DC.

The Van Ness Award is presented annually to an individual who has shown leadership and service to the horse community in his or her state. It is awarded in memory of Mrs. Marjorie Van Ness, a founders of the New Jersey Horse Council and an organizer of the AHC’s Coalition of State Horse Councils.

“Ms. Anderson-Rollins has dedicated her life to creating, maintaining, and promoting land and trail usage both in Indiana and nationwide,” said AHC president Jay Hickey in presenting the award to her. “She is a true educator in conservation, planning and government affairs, and has worked tirelessly to open lines of communication, keep them open, ensure concerns are heard, and answers found to major problems.”

Anderson-Rollins has spoken at many trails symposia, including the National Trails Symposium, the Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference, and the National Equestrian Trails Conference. She has served as the treasurer and vice chair for the Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA), as well as on their media and public lands Committees. She was the president of Hoosier Back Country Horsemen, BCHA of West Central Indiana, the Indiana Horse Council, and the Indiana Trail Riders Association. She also served on the Governor’s committee for the “Hoosier’s on the Move” master trails plan and was the chair for the Department of Natural Resources Trails Advisory Board
