Business Background:   
Sherry has 30 years of corporate experience in advertising, sales, marketing and event, project and trials management.  As a volunteer, she organized a fund-raiser for the USEF featuring a Polo Match, Champagne Brunch and Olympic Ridden Event Demonstrations with attendance of over 500 and a nice donation to USEF.   The Organized Horse was her inspiration.  Her vision is to bring organization and design into the tack room with an easy selection approach that frees up the horse owner to spend more time with their horse! 
Jim’s computer hardware and software knowledge lends itself to providing the technical support for The Organized Horse.  Leveraging 25 years of business experience in Professional Services and Management, Jim has been instrumental in developing our web site and database and providing overall Technical direction.

Horsing Around: 
Jim & Sherry enjoy the horse lifestyle in Snohomish, WA with 5 horses, 3 dogs and 4 cats.  They have trail ridden in Montana, Arizona and the NW.  They are now enjoying attendance at beautiful NW Show facilities and socializing with fellow competitors.  

Sherry is from Michigan and after a 20 year absence re-entered the Dressage Arena in 2005 with her new partner, Zinfandel, a handsome and talented AWB/Dutch 17 ½ liver chestnut with chrome.  They have won numerous local, regional and national Dressage championships and awards competing at Training and lst Levels, including their first freestyle and are looking forward to 2nd level competition.
Jim was born and raised in the NW and grew up around horses and Western riding.  For many years he was involved with local 4H, Pinto and Paint organizations.  Currently Jim owns a 19 year old Quarterhorse named Joe.   They continue to enjoy the occasional trail ride though Joe is finding the life of semi-retirement quite enjoyable!.
