Horsepeople of the Year: JP Godard
JP Godard was raised in Aiken, South Carolina, where his mom introduced him to horses. He decided riding wasn’t for him but enjoyed working horse shows at a young age and became friends with many others in the business that then took him under their wing because he was so young. He was not content with just working as jump crew, so he began learning course design and jump building and decided to pursue that path. People noticed his attention to detail and soon he began getting course designing jobs at some of the biggest shows in the country—WEF, Pony Finals, Devon and Harrisburg, just to name a few. He didn’t stop there; he decided to get into show management and opened his own horse show company, Equus Events. He then was hired to manage the Tryon Horse Shows and TerraNova. Most recently, he was asked to manage the National Horse Show.
