Last month we began introducing our new Zone 8 Committee Members, and we continue this month! They are already working hard for the zone. Stay tuned for more introductions next month.
Betty Beran
, of Scottsdale, Arizona, has been involved with the sport for more than 50 years. She was a professional rider and is now a trainer. As a committee member she wants to be involved with the governance that affects the sport. Her other hobbies include snow skiing, scuba diving, barre classes, and teaching her grandchildren and others about the sport. If she could have dinner with any equestrian, she would choose Jimmy Williams because she has learned so much from him.
Chris Collman
, of Cave Creek, Arizona, started riding at the age of 5 and has been involved in the sport as a rider, owner, trainer, licensed official and horse show manager. His goal as a committee member is to help the industry grow and get better. Outside of the sport he enjoys fishing, camping, photography and the Green Bay Packers. He would have dinner with William Steinkraus to talk about all of his accomplishments and how he became a show jumping legend.
Beth Nielsen
, of Longmont, Colorado, has spent almost every day of her life involved with the sport whether she was riding, showing, judging, training or educating students. She is an "R" hunter, jumper, hunt seat equitation, and hunter breeding judge, taught at Lake Erie College, and ran North Coast Farm. As a committee member she wants to give back and be an active participant on calls and at the USHJA Annual Meeting. She also enjoys golf, travel, Pilates and gardening and spending time with her husband and children. She would have dinner with Jean Froissard because he revolutionized her riding and was fascinating to listen to.
