<strong>FRC</strong> <strong>July</strong> <strong>Member</strong> of the Month<br />
Amy Barrington<br />
Foothills Riding Club is happy to celebrate our <strong>July</strong> <strong>Member</strong> of the Month, Amy Barrington!<br />
Amy has been a staple in the foothills equestrian community for the last 14 years. She is a<br />
wonderful trainer, competitor, and inspiration to everyone<br />
around her.<br />
When Amy moved here from Arizona, she would often drive<br />
or ride by FENCE and was intrigued by the <strong>FRC</strong> shows<br />
because they always looked so great. She began to get<br />
involved with the <strong>FRC</strong> soon after, bringing students and<br />
young horses to our shows. Now a ’days, Amy often<br />
designs the stadium jumping courses at our Combined<br />
Training shows that always ride so well!<br />
Amy is a nationally recognized eventer and has helped<br />
many in the area advance through the levels as well. She<br />
can often be found on the cross-country course with a<br />
group of students around her and her adorably fuzzy dog<br />
Izzy by her side. Amy can recall many great horses that<br />
have come in and out of her life, but the most amazing<br />
was her horse Platinum. He was long listed for the US<br />
Eventing Team when she first moved to Tryon. They<br />
competed at many advanced level events in the area and<br />
he eventually retired to live out his life on her farm. Amy<br />
loves to adopt and retrain retired thoroughbreds, too!
