Welcome To The R. W. Mutch Educational Foundation

In these pages you will learn how the R. W. Mutch Equitation Classic evolved and why the R.W. Mutch Scholarship came into being.

The R. W. Mutch Educational Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) educational foundation that sponsors the R. W. Ronnie Mutch Equitation Classic which is a special class run on the last Sunday of the HITS Championship week at Thermal, CA. The class will be held on the Grand Prix field on the Sunday morning prior to the $200,00 Grand Prix This invitational classic, is a highly sought after honor,  open only to those talented riders who win at least one major equitation class at any of the major winter circuits: HITS Thermal, HITS Arizona, HITS Ocala, WEF, and Gulfport Mississpi.

In 2003, under the guidance of Carol Coleman, the educational foundation developed the R. W. Mutch scholarship program. Now going in its sixth year, the scholarship has become an annual event occurring during the two prior to the Mutch Equitation Classic.
