John Hoyt is a name known throughout the entire performance horse industry.  He has influenced many of today’s top riders.  Until 2003, John was still actively riding and teaching the professionals of the future.  After a failed knee surgery, he was left with a medical condition called ‘dropped foot’, which resulted in nerve damage and consequently left him unable to ride.

Since then, his health has continually declined leaving him in an economic struggle.  However, John still attends every major NRHA Competition and is an active resource to many local and national riders.   For those who know John, living in an active horse environment is a key aspect of his well-being. At this point, he has a good support system that allows him to live independently and continue to give back to the industry.

Because of John’s economic struggle, his housing situation is in significant need of our help.  Pete and Tamra Kyle, of the Kyle Ranch, in Whitesboro, TX, have graciously donated the use of a lot already equipped with septic and electricity.

One Time Pepto

A GoFundMe account was set up for John that has raised more than $40,000 that will provide a modular home and furnishings that will properly accommodate John to help ease the stress and emotional strain that he faces daily.  But we still need your help in funding proper living for John.   To contribute go to http://www.gofundme.com/nbbqvs

We ask for your donations and support with helping John live out his last years doing what he loves.

When the time comes, and John no longer needs this home, the proceeds from the sale of the home and assets will be donated to the John Hoyt Foundation.  This fund will be perpetuated forward for fellow elderly horsemen and horsewoman in the industry.

If you would like to read more about John and his life stories, here are a few articles written over the years.
