SAzEA is grateful to the many individuals and organizations who believe in our vision, and the capabilities of our Board. Together, they have generously donated money, labor, equipment, material, “in-kind” donations, and professional and technical expertise. In partnership with the Southwest Fair Committee, our extraordinary course designer Adri Doyal, course builder David Cathcart, the Pima County Fairgrounds, grounds maintenance team under Adam Validiva, national equestrian sponsors, our exceptional show manager Christina Gray, local businesses, equestrian groups and training facilities, and an extensive network of volunteers, we’ve built a fabulous, fun, and competitive cross-country course through the Preliminary level.
