Good day-

Believe it or not, when I am not working events I actually do have a ‘favorite past time’.  I have been riding horses for almost 21 years now and hope I always have the opportunity.  It is not only a hobby but a love! 

Over the years, I have met some many wonderful people in the equestrian world – many long lasting friendships.  As long as I can remember, I have been a member of a wonderful organization that promotes horsemanship to youth and adults alike.  A few years back, I was invited to join the board of South Carolina Dressage and Combined Training(SCDCTA) organization.

Each year we have an awards banquet that celebrates the accomplishments of those actively competing in horse shows in the state of South Carolina.  This year we had this banquet at The Windermere Club.

We always have the best time- we have a lovely dinner, awards presentation and silent auction to benefit our non- profit organization.  Thank you to all those that donated items to the event itself and the auction.  Cake was by Carol Sturkie- Parties to Go, Flowers by Think Floral.

Below are just a few images of the event itself.
