As the NCHA Foundation Animal Welfare Chair, Dr. Glenn Blodgett helped guide the Foundation’s philanthropic efforts and partnerships with The Foundation for the Horse, American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), and more.
His passion for the horse spurred the Foundation’s goal of creating an endowment for the tenet he so fiercely championed. In mid-October of 2022, the Foundation received the base funding for such an endowment. Excited for the future, “Doc” began his search for the perfect project.
On November 20, 2022, the Blodgett family lost a loving husband, father, and grandfather. The Four Sixes Ranch lost a leader, friends and colleagues lost a confidant and mentor, our equine companions lost a champion, and the Western performance industry lost an icon.
Though Doc did not have the opportunity to share his plans for the future of the NCHA Foundation’s animal welfare program, he leaves behind a blueprint of service that we will continue. In honor of Dr. Blodgett's lifelong dedication to the betterment of the equine industry, the NCHA Foundation will continue to advocate for the welfare of our equine partners through the Dr. Glenn Blodgett Animal Welfare Fund.
