Theresa Humason founded the Horse Heaven Hills Regional Club in 1968, serving as its president for more than 20 years. She served on the Executive Race Committee (ERC) from 1985 to 1998, eight of those years as chairman.  She sold Appaloosa Journal advertisements for five years to generate an income for racing, and organized and conducted three successful racing seminars. She also held numerous successful fund raising events to pay for the ERC supreme bronze awards for 15 years. Humason completely updated the Racing Chart books to accurately reflect stakes winners from 1962 to 1990 and was instrumental in getting stakes races graded.  Humason co-founded the Western Regional Appaloosa Racing Council, serving as executive secretary.  She authored several policy guideline publications and the racing brochure “Color It Fun.”  As a breeder and owner, Theresa has had two ERC champion two-year-old distance colts, two medallion winners and 23 individual stakes winners. She’s been named Leading Breeder and Leading Owner seven times in Washington and Leading Owner three times in Oregon.  In addition, Humason was inducted into Marquis’ “Who’s Who of American Women” and “Who’s Who in the American West” in 1981.
