Ceci Butler-Stasiuk
Born: June 20, 1982 Residence: Humble, TX :- Cecilia Butler-Stasiuk, grew up on a small horse ranch in Humble, Texas where her mother, acclaimed endurance competitor Darolyn Butler, taught her to ride and care for the horses. She started competing in the sport of Endurance Horse Racing at the age of four. Cecilia entered her first 100 mile race at the age of 6 and won her first 100 mile race at the same age.
