Due to the well-constructed and well-maintained footing in the outdoor rings, the footing was stable and well drained with only a few small puddles. The show office, indoor rings, the covered arena and stabling were not affected at all. The facility works extremely well with show management to provide the best footing at all times. There is a great deal of flexibility for worst-case-scenario planning due to the number and sizes of the indoor and covered arenas. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated the east coast during the week of the Regionals Championships held at this facility. The Ag Center is a designated hurricane evacuation center and the ability of the facility to withstand the weather was outstanding. The footing in the outside rings was great. Our northern competitors were quite glad to escape the hurricane and very smartly stocked up on gasoline and other supplies when they had to return home.

RESUMÉ

Background I am a lifetime equestrian, having started riding at the age of 12. I went to college to be a Civil Engineer but once out of college achieved my dream of owning my own farm. At Whinstone Farm in Zebulon, NC we ran dressage schooling shows for over 20 years. In the winter of 2016 Cassidy Sitton and I purchased Sporting Services from Sue & Buck Smithson. Since then we have been running 3 recognized shows and up to 5 large schooling shows each year, with Cassidy acting as manager and I as secretary. I am also an active competitor and earned my Bronze Medal on a horse that I raised and trained myself. I have been active as a volunteer and served on the board of NCDCTA for several years, including 2 years as the Competition Chair. I have also served as a PM Delegate for USDF for over 6 years and have been a member of the USDF Competition Committee for two years. I have used both Fox Village and HorseShow Office software, but now use HorseShow Office for all of Sporting Service’s competitions. Following is a list of the USDF/USEF competitions for which I have been secretary: 2017 March Magic Dressage, Level 2, Sen.
