Three months after he passed away from pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze is being honored with a scholarship. The Arabian Horse Foundation has set up a scholarship for young riders who are seeking a career in the performing arts.

Foundation President Larry Kinneer says it honors Swayze for his career and the couple’s “love of the Arabian breed and contributions over the years to Aha youth programs.”

Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi, were happy to share the love they had for their own horses on their little ranch. They even showed them off to Barbara Walters in one of his last interviews.
