GDCTA 2020 Election Candidate Profiles
The nominees for Officers are: Caren Caverly – President: I have served on the GDCTA Board for the
past 12 years and as President for the last 9 years. I am also the Chairperson for GDCTA Insurance, Annual Awards Gala and the Year End Awards. While on the board at GDCTA, I proposed and managed the 2009-2019 Schooling Shows at Wills Park and at the Georgia International Horse Park. I also organized the Gil Merrick Seminar along with June Brewer. I have been riding for over 55 years with the last 14 years focused on dressage. I currently own 1 horse, Solant (retired). I have also served as Treasurer for the Georgia Arabian Association for 4 years. My professional experience includes working as Manager and Buyer for Tack Tavern for 8 ½ years, followed by 15 years in the car business. I was the Assistant Manager at Dover Saddlery for over 8 years. I am currently doing Horse Show Management and going for my “r” TD license. On-going goals for the GDCTA include getting the Region 3 Championships back to Conyers and making them the most fun and successful championships. We also hope to continue the growing success of the Awards Gala. As President, I would like to see GDCTA host more educational seminars and junior activities. My personal goal is to make GDCTA the best GMO in the country – the one other GMO’s look to as the example of how things are done!
