Get to Know Your New Committee Members:
|
Over the next few months we'll be introducing our new Zone 2 Committee Members! They are already working hard for the zone. Take a minute to get to know them, and stay tuned for more introductions!
Mark Leone, Chair
Mark, of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, has been involved in the sport for 45 years as a rider, trainer, owner and parent. He owns a stable in Oakland, New Jersey, where he trains. As a committee member he hopes to give back to the sport by participating in the governance process. He enjoys spending time with his family, skiing and golfing.
Troy Hendricks, Vice Chair
Troy of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania,
began riding when he was a teenager and turned his passion into a career. He owns Kimber-View Stables where he trains and sells hunter/jumper and equitation horses. He is an "R" level judge and involved with the Pennsylvania affiliate. He is hoping to be a link between trainers and exhibitors as a committee member. He also enjoys golf and watching the Yankees. If he could have dinner with any equestrian he would choose Rodney Jenkins to learn more about the history of the sport.
Wendy Chapot Nunn, Treasurer
Wendy, of Madison, New Jersey,
has been involved with the sport her entire life and is an adult amateur jumper rider. She would like to improve the sport for Zone 2 members. In addition to riding, she works as an accountant and is married with three young children. If Wendy could have dinner with one equestrian she would pick her late father Frank Chapot because she misses him.
