Harriet Cherry of Nepean, ON, was named the recipient of Jump Canada’s ‘Official of the Year’ Award for 2011.

Cherry started her equestrian career as a typical horse-crazy kid who finally convinced her parents to let her start taking riding lessons.  Joining the Rockcliffe Riding Club was just the beginning of what would become a life-long passion for the sport.

Always involved with horses in one way or another, Cherry applied to become a steward in 1981 and, later that year, received her Recorded status.  Two years later, she became a Senior Steward.
