RHSC would like to welcome Sara Torres as our new Open Ring Chairperson! Brian Schnitzer has retired and Sara will begin at our April 26th show. Our Open Ring goes by AQHA rules, except where RHSC supercedes them. Here's a little info about Sara:

Sara began her equestrian career in the Beginner and Open arenas at RHSC and later advanced to regional and national competition. Today, she competes in the Amateur division with both the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). Her accomplishments include APHA Top 20 and Honor Roll recognition, and multiple top finishes at the APHA and Pinto World Championship Shows.

Beyond her success in the show pen, Sara has supported the Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina Paint Horse Clubs with show operations, award planning, media coverage, and event graphics.

Sara is excited about the opportunity to bring her experience to the Open Ring Chair role—helping bridge the gap between local shows and the modern breed-show experience. By incorporating elements from APHA, AQHA, and Pinto events, she aims to not only support the club in delivering top-quality shows but also provide a welcoming, smooth path for riders who are ready to take their competition to the next level.

Please make Sara feel welcome. We're excited to have her join our RHSC family. ❤️

Tack Swap - RHSC Friends:
Would you rather have our annual tack swap on Friday, April 25th or Friday, May 16th? Both of these Fridays are the day before our Saturday Open Horse Show at Wills Park Equestrian Center in Alpharetta. Anyone can sell or attend. You do not have to be a RHSC member. Last year, we asked everyone who set up to please donate at least $10 to the Wills Park Equestrian Foundation, or WPEF, who is raising money to improve Wills Park Equestrian Center. WPEF is a 501c3, so your donation is tax deductible. RHSC is not charging anyone to participate; we're only asking you donate to WPEF. Equestrian related businesses, equine non-profits, horse breed representatives, etc, are all welcome to participate. Let us know what you think about the date and we'll create an event. We had a great turnout last year and we're hoping for an even bigger crowd this year. It will be from 4p.m - 7 p.m. on whatever day we decide. Set up when you can; you do not have to be there right at 4 p.m. Set up will be around the concession stand area and the open area between the concession stand, covered arena, and Dressage arena. Just please don't block the thoroughfare between the lower show rings and the barns. Thanks for your input!
