About Sporting Days Farm
​
Joannah Hall Glass, owner of Sporting Days Farm in Aiken, South Carolina, has been involved in the sport of eventing in a number of capacities over the years. A former Pony Club District Commissioner, original board member of the Delaware Valley Combined Training Association (DVCTA), member of the board of Dressage at Devon, and a life member of the USEF and USEA, Glass has “enjoyed many people’s enthusiasm for the sport.”

Glass began organizing horse trials in the 1960s in Maryland and continued to organize events well into the 1980s in Pennsylvania. In 1986, with the help of Wilson Groves, Glass hosted a combined test on the Polo Field at Aiken. Following that, she rented land and hosted the first full horse trials in Aiken in 1988. “At that point, I had bought 92 acres and took some gap years to build the farm and courses at my own Sporting Days Farm,” Glass recalled. “By 1993 I tested my site with a combined test and then a horse trials.
