New York, Nov 29 (IANS) Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze has been honoured posthumously by a scholarship in his name by an American riding institution.
The “Dirty Dancing” star, along with his wife Lisa Niemi, was a keen equestrian prior to his death in September this year, and officials at the Arabian Horse Foundation (AHA) have established a programme to remember the actor, reports buzzhollywood.com.
The scholarship will be awarded each spring to a youngster involved with Arabian horses who seeks a performing arts career.
Foundation president Larry Kinneer said it honours Swayze for his career and the couple’s “love of the Arabian breed and contributions over the years to AHA youth programs.”
