🎓 Catherine de la Cruz Scholarship
An annual scholarship for junior riders, sponsored by Brian & Darlene Schlerf and BAS Roofing, honoring Catherine de la Cruz - who started competing at age 75 and continues to inspire us all!
Catherine rode hunter-jumpers as a kid, took a break for marriage and motherhood, then at 71 climbed back on a horse. At 75, she and her horse Lola competed in their first NATRC ride, which they finished, then won their next ride!
