The Zara Buren Memorial Foundation was established in 2020 to help youth with the desire, talent and work ethic to pursue their passion.

The $1,000 bursaries for 14-17-year-olds are to be used for riding lessons, show fees, continuing education and other learning opportunities.

Thanks to the strength of applications, in addition to the $6,000 grant winner an additional four deserving riders will receive $1,000.
