The board of the Gerry Dilger Equine Scholarship Foundation is delighted to announce the two recipients of its Irish National Stud tuition and placement scholarship for 2025.
Josefina Posada has traveled extensively in her quest to learn and progress in the bloodstock world. The Bogota, Columbia native, attended Hartpury University in Gloucester, England graduating with first class honors in Equine Science. She has also gained valuable experience at Barton Stud in England and is currently an intern at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky. Josefina acknowledges that the Irish National Stud plays a very important role in its standing as a leading thoroughbred stud and a teacher of young people through its world renowned educational program. In the future while aiming to develop a role with bloodstock development, Joesfina would also like to encourage and inspire Columbian people to have an opportunity to pursue an equine career.
The foundation's second scholarship recipient is Eric Resendiz a graduate of the Bluegrass Community and Technical College's equine program in Lexington. Kentucky. He has already diligently pursued many avenues of work experience and education with Godolphin, WinStar, St George Sales and Amplify Horse Racing. Eric values observation of horsemen and horsewomen that he admires and relates to as being very important in his quest for further knowledge. Despite hailing from a non horse background Eric is steadfast in his determination to become the best horseman he can be and is very grateful to have the opportunity to broaden his European horse knowledge with this Irish National Stud experience.
