About: Our Staff
Bob founded the Classic Company Ltd in 1992. He loves horse shows! When shows in the southeast were beginning to fail, and with a push from Carol Kent, the Charleston Summer Classic was born. Bob produces 24 horse shows a year with a budget of many millions of dollars. He serves on the Board of Directors of both the United States Equestrian Federation and the United States Hunter Jumper Association. He is also a member of the USEF Federation Representative Committee, USEF Stewards and TD Committee, Continuing Education Committee and USEF Competition Managers Committee Member. In addition, Bob is a USEF Steward and serves as Chairman of the USHJA Zone Four Committee (for the past 6 years).

Tissy Principe, Personal Assistant / Woman in Charge!
Above a four car garage, the Classic Company headquarters has four workstations, five computers, a fax and four phones. Tissy is in charge. She keeps the stall counts for the shows, balances the check books, fills out all the association applications and paperwork, gets the mail and answers the phone. She also takes care of Bob's dog, Abby, when he has to fly to a show! Tissy is a USEF Steward and stays very busy with a farm with retired horses.

Allen Rheinheimer, Director of Operations
If Bob can dream it up, Allen can make it happen! Allen is a USEF Jumper Judge, Course Designer and has served on USEF committees. Beside the Classic Company events, you can find Allen at our country's most prestigious shows — like the Hampton Classic, Devon and Washington International — in some capacity.

Joe Carnicom, Resident Course Designer
Joe came to work several years ago as a crew member. He worked his way through the ranks and now is top dog. Joe does much of his work behind the scenes both early in the morning and late at night. He is the reason things seem to flow so well at our shows.

Becky Miles, Sponsor Coordinator
Becky created her job with the Classic Company and every year sees increases in sponsorship. She has not lost a single sponsor because they were not given what she promised. She works very hard from her home office in Dacula, GA, and is a great asset to the Classic Company.

Jonathan Rabon, Office Manager
Jonathan not only keeps track of our office at the show, but the points and paperwork at our home office. When you leave a horse show the paper just begins — he often spends the entire time between shows working on the past or the next. Dedicated to his job, Jonathan often works seven days a week, week in and week out. He serves on the USEF Show Secretaries Committee and works for several other events each year, such as Uppervillle, Capitol Challenge, Vermont Summer, and many shows in Texas as a show secretary. Jonathan also works as an agent for EMO Insurance.

Jane Labyack, Announcer
Jane works with Classic Company in Jacksonville, Gulfport and Charleston each year. Her nick name is Boom Boom and that came from her great times at the Boomtown Casino in Biloxi, MS. |

|
Jennifer Gamboa, Secretary
When she is not in our office doing a great job as our part time secretary, she is helping our show vet and her husband, Juan Gamboa. Jennifer works with us year round and does not miss one of our shows, ever. |
|

|
Gloria Manning, Secretary
Glo went from doing the gate to the office because she is WAY over-qualified for gate. She seems to be the "special" class coordinator. Since Bob likes inventing special classes, Glo is usually in charge of the paperwork. Thank goodness there are only a few special classes during the summer shows! When not at the shows, Glo is at home with her husband, horse and dog in Ocala. |

Marcy Waymire-White & Nancy Holburg
No one works harder than these two ladies to make our lives better. They take both phone and online reservations. Support our sponsors and use their travel service.

Robin Stoney, Ribbons and Trophies
She does have an addiction to anything shiny so if you can't find her ringside, you can find her in the vendor area loaded down with shopping bags. |

Tissy volunteered to help Bob with the stalls for the Charleston Summer Classic in 1992. Tissy then found out the books were not balanced and that the company was run on Post-it® Notes. Not now.
Allen joined the Classic Company in its conception with the Charleston Summer Classic. His abilities and knowledge allowed the company to grow, and he contributed greatly to the company's success.
Janet joined the Classic Company in 1999 with her brain child, the Gulf Coast Winter Series. Janet and Bob Bell worked together so well producing the fall West Tennessee Hunter Jumper Association horse show, that Janet invited Bob to visit the Gulf Coast to look at a show facility she had found. The rest is history.
Joe is our resident course designer. He manages the crew. He's also responsible for hiring the crew to work each show, along with scheduling drags and water.
Becky found the Classic Company via her sister-in-law, who was helping the SCHJA show at Chateau Elan in 1994.
Jonathan joined the Classic Company in 1994 and with his computer knowledge, became the office manager. He was instrumental in our company software creation and office procedures.
Dr. Juan joined the Classic Company seven years ago when the Gulf Coast shows were added to our show schedule. Juan travels to all of the Classic and Gulf Coast Classic Company events except Charleston. He does a great job of keeping our horses in the show ring.
Jane has been in the industry in one position or another since they started horse shows. Jane is a wonderful show secretary and is known as the "mouth of the south" because she is the best announcer in the south.
Jennifer is our part time secretary who works Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. She also shows her hunter on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
During one of the first Atlanta Fall shows Bob was short one in gate and trying to find someone at the last minute. Gloria Manning was suggested. She arrived the following day and the summer shows are the only shows Glo does not attend (she likes to lay by her pool instead).
Marcy and Nancy are Equestrian Travel. They help us organize our staff rooms and negotiate the best rates for our exhibitors.
Robin came to work with the Classic Company in 2008 but has been involved with the events for 20 years. Robin is a judge, steward, ribbon presenter, sponsor coordinator and generally in charge of "fluff." She can be found at almost every event in some capacity and always has a smile and something nice to say.
