Madden will be the recipient of an Equine Ambassador Award from the New York Farm Bureau. The event will also include an autograph session with Madden and opportunities to view memorabilia from her show jumping success. The day after this celebration, she will be inducted into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame.
