The weekend is filled with education, great competition and top-notch hospitality thanks to great sponsors.
Friday begins with clinic sessions with trainer Teri Knowlton for the jumper riders and John McQueen for the hunter riders.
Knowlton grew up with horses at her family's, Tucson Equestrian Center in Tucson AZ. She showed successfully on the USEF “A” Circuit in the Hunters, Jumpers and Equitation. Upon completion of her junior years, Teri was an  accomplished horsewoman and immediately found a career as a professional horse trainer. Teri continues to ride, train and manage Windcrest Farm, Elizabeth, CO. Her current clients travel throughout the US showing the “A” Circuit with stops in Wellington, Tennessee, Santa Fe and then back home to Colorado. Teri has coached many riders to National success from the ponies to the Grand Prix Ring including Rachel Baker, Tyson Ziebarth and Alex Granato just to name a few. Most recently, she coached Lynsey Whitacre and Barillo W to the top spot of 4 High Junior/ Amateur Jumper Classics in 2015 and Reserve Champion High Amateur Jumper in Zone 7. Teri enjoys working with horses and their riders at every level and is excited to meet everyone at the 2016 Wisconsin Equine Derby Weekend!
John McQueen began his professional career as a horseman in 1981; he is based out of Calhoun, LA. He ran a very successful hunter/jumper training facility, Foxbriar Farms, from 1981 until 2011. McQueen and his team campaigned horses and riders to State, Regional and National awards. In 1992, McQueen became a USEF “R” Judge, he has enjoyed the  good fortune of judging all over the United States and Canada at some of the most prestigious and respected venues. He is currently President of Queenie Productions LLC, who produces and manages 15 - 20 USEF “A” rated horse shows annually across the country. His well-rounded horsemanship and judge’s point of view will be an asset to all the riders in his sessions.

The event includes fantastic hospitality and shopping.
Healing Haven of Wisconsin and Lisa Wenger make the process of choosing, fitting and acquiring wigs possible for cancer patients of all ages. Real hair wigs are surprisingly expensive! With your support, we can help cancer patients be a little less self-conscious, feel a bit more comfortable in their own skin and show our support that there is always a “village” pulling for their recovery.
The live auctioneer is sure to make it an exciting evening.
