Katherine Strauss of Wellington, Florida has been selected as the Hollow Brook Wealth Management Show Jumping Hall of Fame Rider of the Month for May.
Strauss competes in the East Conference, Amateur-Owner Division of the Hollow Brook Wealth Management Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series. She earned the award by riding ALL IN to first place during both weeks of competition at the Old Salem Farm Spring Horse Shows in North Salem, New York. These wins catapulted her to third place in the year-long East Conference Standings.
"I would like to give a big congratulations to Katherine Strauss on being named our May Rider of the Month. With consistent work and dedication, she has proven she is without a doubt a deserving winner," commented George Morris, President of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame.
The Show Jumping Hall of Fame conducts the Hollow Brook Wealth Management Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series. The Series hosts separate divisions for junior and amateur-owner riders in two Conferences and follows Grand Prix rules and specifications. Each month the Series honors the rider who earns the most points on one horse in Series competition that month. The Series provides an opportunity for amateur-owner and junior riders to compete at higher levels and serves as a proving ground for many who aspire to represent the United States in international competition.
