The Kathryn Cagle
"Inspire Me"
Award
Dedicated to the spirit of long time West
Coast Reining Horse Association member
Kathryn Cagle, WCRHA is proud to introduce the Kathryn Cagle "Inspire Me" Perpetual Award.
WCRHA has been permanently touched and inspired by Kathryn's involvement in our lives. She was a strong woman
with a larger than life character. Kathryn brought to our Association a positive energy and an integrity that inspired our
members to think more highly of themselves, respect and support their peers, treat others with kindness and dignity, and
to approach life with a positive outlook. Having lived a life with a warm heart full of laughter and bright beautiful smile on
her face, Kathryn was an avid supporter of Reining and her Reining family. In her memory, we at WCRHA ask that our
membership, family and friends reflect upon those who have motivated, encouraged, supported, and inspired them to be
better individuals.
In the name of Kathryn Cagle, we ask
that you nominate someone within WCRHA who "Inspires" YOU!
Each year the winner will be awarded:
• A perpetual trophy with their name engraved to be
awarded at the annual WCRHA Year End Banquet.
The award will be kept for one year, to be returned at
the next year’s banquet.
• A custom engraved buckle sponsored by Slider Performance Horses.
• A winning profile in the WCRHA Reiner.
• An "Inspire Me" photo to be inserted into the "Inspire
Me" award album. This album will be displayed annually at the Banquet.
