SARA BERLINSKY

Big Boss, Silver Spurs Riding Club

2023/2024

Meet Sara Berlinsky, the 2023-2024 “Big Boss” of the Silver Spurs Riding Club. Each year, the board of directors will elect a Big Boss to serve a one-year term as president of the organization. Along with the “Law of the Range” and the Silver Spurs Riding Club’s volunteers, the Big Boss will help organize the rodeo performances throughout the year and spread awareness of the organization’s missions across the community. Sara is a proud mother of two boys, a volunteer, and upholder of Osceola County’s heritage. 

Sara’s story is rooted in St. Cloud. From an early age, Sara understood the value of community involvement and the importance of preserving Osceola County’s agricultural traditions. This is what led her to join the Silver Spurs Riding Club as a volunteer.

As a proud mother of two boys, Tripp and Eli, she instilled in them the same values of compassion and civic responsibility. Tripp and Eli have been by her side since their earliest days, joining her in volunteering efforts even when they were still in car seats.

Sara’s journey with the Silver Spurs Riding Club began with selling snowcones at the age of 16. As the years passed, Sara helped with the reinstatement of the Special Rodeo after the new arena was built in 2002. This event allows children with special needs living in Osceola County to experience the joy and excitement of a mock rodeo.

As the Silver Spurs Riding Club’s Big Boss for 2023 – 2024, Sara’s vision for the coming year is to continue the rodeo’s legacy of success while shining a brighter spotlight on the organization’s impact on the community. Her goals encompass showcasing the diverse ways in which the Silver Spurs Riding Club gives back with scholarships, donations, and the Special Rodeo.
