Show Manager - Liz Pardue
Hi! I’m Liz Pardue, I have been actively involved with showing and owning horses for 34 years now. I have traveled the US, showing and working with different breeds throughout my lifetime, including saddlebreds, hunter jumpers, dressage, cutting horses, endurance, and now Arabians. I love the passion and friendships built by working in the equine world and have spent the previous two years as a show manager. my favorite spot is working the gate for the shows.
I look forward to another successful year of being a support system for our show series/community, and I’m always open to any questions.
