BSJC Committees

BSJC has experienced rapid growth, with membership having doubled and our reach expanding. This growth brings new opportunities and evolving needs. To best serve our growing community, BSJC has expanded our operations to include Committees.

Each Committee has a specific area of focus and is led by a board member as its Chair. Multiple positions are available within each committee, depending on the need. The board has identified the current needs of the organization and established the following committees and positions. As the club continues to grow, these roles may evolve.

These committee positions are open to BSJC members in good standing who are aligned with our mission and ethics and are looking for a meaningful way to contribute to and give back to the local equestrian community.

Horse Show Committee / Show Office Coordinator

Shana Campbell

Shana was 18 months old when her love affair with horses started, (thanks to her dad’s adventuresome spirit and his acquired 2 yr old Arabian colt), which led to hunter/jumper lessons as a junior rider, then showing her family’s Arabians while working for breeders and show barns. Sidelined with college, starting a family and career pursuits, she returned to her hunter/jumper roots as an older adult rider and has fond memories of her first BSJC show. BSJC afforded access to a high-quality local show experience, and Shana is passionate about continuing the tradition of offering outstanding outlets to the local hunter/jumper community. She has used her skills in business and project management to assist BSJC in the show office the last two years and looks forward to stepping up as Show Office Coordinator as part of the show committee. Shana also realized her dream career a few years ago as a Certified Equine Bodyworker, and as owner of SRC Equine Bodywork, helps many horses to feel and perform their best. In her spare time, she is having fun rehabbing her "sweet and spicy" OTTB mare as well as offering bodywork clinics to horse owners, clubs and training barns.

Maureen Healey

Maureen started riding as a teenager in the bay area. She migrated to hunters and jumpers, working as a groom for a hunter/jumper program showing extensively on the west coast. Stepping away from horses for many years, she had a very successful career in high tech sales. Her love of horses never went away and when she relocated to Idaho in March 2020, she was able to have horses back in her life.

Maureen’s equine partner is a five year old Zangersheide gelding, Troubadour. He is a wonderful baby horse and has her looking forward to her daily trips to the barn. When not with the horses, Maureen enjoys spending time with her husband hiking, biking, golfing, and traveling.

Stephanie aims to support the Boise Saddle & Jump Club (BSJC) by increasing opportunities for Idaho riders to connect and participate in local shows and events with their horses.

Kelly Mitchell

Kelly Mitchell was born and raised in Newport Rhode Island, and moved to Idaho in 1993 after earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Business Management. An animal person at heart, Kelly’s interest in the Hunter /Jumper community came from sharing her love for animals with her daughter, Macy Mitchell. Their shared passion grew from riding and showing together, to co-owning and operating a Hunter/Jumper training and show barn; Autumn Hills Equestrian Center.in Middleton Idaho.

After 30 years in private industry, and a long search for work with purpose, Kelly was led to her current role as Senior Director of Shelter Operations and Outreach for Mountain Humane in Hailey Idaho. This rewarding work in nonprofit has given Kelly invaluable insight on the importance of volunteers and the value of relationships.

Kelly has volunteered for BSJC in previous years, and is now looking forward to sharing her horse/rider point knowledge and expertise, to help bring recognition to our local members not familiar with the external benefits of affiliate memberships, and local & national competition.
