The Who's Who of RCHJA
Megan Yanko
Megan was born and raised right here on the First Coast. She is an instructor at Smoak Meadow Farm in Green Cove alongside Kristal Tooma. Raised on the local circuit while dabbling in the rated shows as a junior, amateur and professional, Megan took her passion for showing and turned it into committing over 15 years to being a local ring steward and judge. She now brings her background in both the legal and the equestrian industries to help provide horse shows with the attention to detail you see on the rated circuit but with the costs you associate with local events.
Claire Lee
Claire has been a long established veteran of the industry for years. Her mother, Kitty Lee, worked alongside Claire for years and together founded HaddenLoch in January 2005. Claire has spent numerous years competing across the nation as well as internationally, including seven years training under Olympian Norman Dello Joio and competed at the Grand Prix level. Claire has been a jump course designer in addition to an active board member for more than one circuit and has decided to take her experience on and off the horse to align with the vision of RCHJA.
Alexis Gamel
Alexis is certainly no stranger to horse shows from both sides of the office. Outside of her lengthy riding career both as a junior and an amateur, Alexis went on to manage and operate horse shows for both local and recognized events for countless years. Her commitment to the sport and dedication to its excellence (as well as her innate ability to not take "no" for an answer) shows in her efforts to push RCHJA to the finish line, bringing our local community a much needed option for quality hunter/jumper horse shows and making sure you experience a smooth and effortless show with us!
