The Marti Norris Memorial Scholarship Fund honors the bright spirit of a rider who grew up in the show ring, beginning in walk/trot classes and rising to a successful Junior/Amateur Exhibitor. Jingle Bell was one of Marti’s most cherished shows. She loved celebrating the holiday season there with friends, sharing laughter, creating memories, and embracing the joy and tradition that made the show so special to her.
In celebration of her legacy, the Norris family created the "Marti Norris Scholarship" to inspire and encourage young riders who are dedicated to their horsemanship journey and wish to participate in the Annual Jingle Bell Horse Show.
