Get to Know Your Committee Members:
|
Over the next few months we'll be introducing our new Zone 4 Committee Members! They are already working hard for the zone. Take a minute to get to know them, and stay tuned for more introductions!
Page Tredennick, Chair
Page, of Wellington, Florida
,
has been involved in the sport since she was 10 years old. She owns hunters and jumpers that compete from the Green Hunter to Grand Prix level. She also rides as an amateur in the hunter divisions and does some breeding. She is an "R" hunter judge and an "r" jumper judge. Her goals as a committee member are to be a representative for zone members. In addition to horses, Page owns a professional cooking school in Denver, Colorado, enjoys traveling, needlework, tennis and golf.
Carolyne Tanner, Treasurer
Carolyne, of Winter Park, Florida,
is a fourth generation horsewoman who owns jumpers that have shown through Grand Prix level. She also works for Connaway and Associates Equine Insurance Services. Her goal as a committee member is to provide accurate and timely budgets for the committee to make informed decisions. She enjoys being outdoors running and hiking in her spare time. She is a coach for Girls on the Run and also trains her dogs for obedience and agility. If she could have dinner with any one equestrian, she would choose Harry de Leyer to hear more about his wonderful partner, Snowman.
Charles Moorcroft, Member
Charlie, of Wellington, Florida,
has been part of the industry for more than 40 years as a rider, trainer and coach. He has been involved in governance, especially related to ponies, for many years. He strives to bridge the gap between members and the association and would like to assist in overseeing programs and rules. In his spare time he enjoys raising birds, gardening and being outdoors. If he could have dinner with any one equestrian, he would have dinner with dressage rider Isabell Werth who he feels has a wonderful way with her horses.
