Bit by Bit Scholarships

The Robert and Carol-Lee Jones Scholarship honors the memory of longtime Oregon State University professor, Bob Jones. Bob was a professor of English at Oregon State University and a lifetime horseman. With Carol-Lee he raised Arabian horses on their ranch in southern Oregon. A lover of animals, large and small, Bob also was a dear, longtime friend to his students. Carol-Lee always had a heart for people in need.

Their son, Clint, said, “helping people heal through horses is wonderful,” and a wonderful way to honor their memories.

The scholarship provides six months of weekly therapeutic riding for a Bit by Bit client.

Sara Santora Scholarship

On July 19th, 2024, Sara was living the country life taking care of her animals when she suddenly passed from this world. Sara attended OSU receiving her Bachelor of Science in animal science. Sara’s love of horses started at a young age, motivating her to purchase her first four-legged friend, Highland Gentry, when she was 12 years old. She participated and excelled in equine 4-H and enjoyed being members of both her high school and college equestrian teams. Her high school senior project was on hippotherapy which fascinated her because of the great diversity of people and disabilities that the horses were able to help. In her memory, her family has set up a scholarship with Bit-By-Bit to continue influencing the lives of many people and horses alike.
