2017 Volunteers of the Year: Beth Roy (Volunteer Coordinator), Sonia Wriglesworth,
Joan Harper, Marc Donovan (CHP Program Director)
Sonia Wriglesworth - Volunteer of the Year 2017
For the last couple years Sonia has been at almost every event. Many times she has volunteered for each day of a horse trial, totaling up an impressive 24 days in 2017. That's almost a month working at Carolina Horse Park. Sonia is a dressage Ring Steward expert and has been XC jump judge, XC control, show jumping in-gate, CIC assist scorer, etc. Every position we ask of her is performed with diligence and extreme competence. Sonia is an highly valued asset to Carolina Horse Park.
Joan Harper - Competitor Volunteer of the Year 2017
Joan has worked at the Park for many years, hidden from the spotlight, on the cross country courses. At every horse trial, derby cross or horse driving trial Joan organizes volunteers and decorates all of the courses. She also helps flag the obstacles and removes all the decorations including pine straw. During the events Joan competes her horse in dressage, takes him home and rushes back to start safe guarding the cross country decorations that same day. We would not have beautiful courses without Joan's organizatonal skills and dedication to the Carolina Horse Park.
