Ty Lowery Memorial Service Award Las Cruces Horseman's Association established the Ty Lowery Memorial Service Award in 1998 to honor a person, 18 years or younger, for outstanding service and to honor the memory of Ty Lowery. This award will be given to a Gymkhana Division participant, since that was Ty's division of choice. This award is chosen by a secret committee appointed by the Gymkhana Division Chairperson and the recipient's name remains a secret until announced at the Awards Banquet. Ty Lowery first joined LCHA in 1984. He started out in the Lead-line division and was an active member until his death in 1998. Ty loved animals and was an outstanding horse person. He participated in rodeos and gymkhanas from the time he was five years old. Ty was known for his horsemanship ability, fairness, good humor, and sportsmanship. He always helped others by giving them pointers and by loaning them equipment and even horses if need be. He supported the Gymkhana Division by setting up timers, speakers, and public address system equipment, driving the tractor and being his mother's right arm. Ty was the first eighteen-year-old to serve as an adult board member. Ty Lowery Memorial Service Award Recipients include:
