We could not do all this without our fantastic Volunteers, Services and Support Staff.  Thank you!  In the last two years we have been able to account for a number of valuable pieces of equipment to go with their emergency response vehicle for our Montmorenci Volunteer Fire Co.  Impossible to accomplish without our wonderful Competitors, Advertisers and Sponsors who are a delight to welcome each year. Thank you

Sporting Days Farm consists of approx 120 acres privately owned by Joannah Hall  Glass and another approx 123 acres owned by SDF Assoc members.  The farm, for the past 20 years, hosts USEA/USEF Events, SCDCTA and GDCTA Dressage & Schooling Shows, Trail Rides, USPC meetings, and Fundraisers.  The SDF farms enjoy approximately 7 + miles of trails, 4 active stables, a 4 ‘arena’ Dressage Court,  the Palmetto Pavilion overlooking the Main Show Ring, a few electric/water hookups, a three horse wash rack, primitive camping, stabling for 50, a number of paddocks and an extensive number of Cross Country obstacles including water, banks and ditches.   For several years the Horse Trials benefitted the Aiken Chapter of the American Red Cross, and now for the past two years benefits the local Montmorenci Volunteer Fire Co. 

Joannah grew up on a farm with ponies and horses, was a B Pony Clubber in PA, Rode on the A Circuit, as a junior as well as a senior.  She was married to the leading PA Thoroughbred breeder as well as bred, trained and campaigned a number of horses as well as others.  She was runner up the national Equitation Championships, past DC of the Middletown PC and the Aiken County PC.  Sits on several boards and committees such as Aiken Steeplechase for the past 30 years and is a Director as well as Co Chair of Trophies at the 114 year old Devon Horse Show and Country Fair in PA, having created the Database for their extensive amount of antique and new trophies.

In February 2010 SDF hosted 300 Entries in our USEF/USEA Horse Trials and in March -350.
