Be at Ease With Yourself as a Person
– “I love what I do and view the
International Pavilion as if it were my home and I’m entertaining guests.
I make every effort to insure the guests enjoy this prestigious event.
Whether during season or any other aspect of life, always treat people the
way you would like to be treated.”

Survive Season? It’s Thrive in Season!
– “I’m
so very fortunate to live and relax in a community
of horse enthusiasts on all levels! The social
aspect is stimulating because of opportunities
to meet people and connect resources for my
community benevolent projects. Season energizes
me to promote and enjoy our winter playground,
especially now that my daughter, EmmaLee is
showing. I’m really looking forward to making new
friends in “pony land.”

We Survive Season as a Family
– “We are an extremely fortunate
family in this crazy horse show world. We come to the shows as a
family, we cheer as a family, we experience loss and success as a
family. I thank God everyday that I don’t have the family disruption
that affects so many others. This is a major part of our experience
that keeps us going. We look forward to the next trip, the next show
because we go together and we make it a way of life. But that’s not
to say I don’t think about a long vacation…alone.
