Gerda Friedrichs Memorial Award

Member Award

This award was originally established in 1975 as the Gerda Friedrichs Breeders Award. Having been named a Distinguished Member of the ATA, Mrs. Friedrichs established this award and began giving what had formerly been her membership dues as the award. In 1983, Mr. & Mrs. Gregory Chandler of Penmerryl Farm, Greenville, VA, donated a trophy to take the place of the monetary award. In 1987, the award was renamed in memory of Gerda Friedrichs (Dec. 12, 1910 – Feb. 21, 1987).

Near the end of her life, it was Gerda’s wish to use this award to give recognition to the broodmares and foals of the Trakehner breed in North America. Therefore, the Gerda Friedrichs Memorial Award is now a perpetual trophy presented annually to a member of the ATA for the outstanding breeding success of an ATA studbook-registered Trakehner broodmare and her foals.
