The Annie Goodwin Rising Star Fund
Annie Goodwin was a rising star in the sport of eventing. She was a frequent competitor at Bruce's Field and was a fixture at our winter schooling days since their inception in 2016. Annie invested in our community by volunteering her time at Bruce’s Field. Most recently, she volunteered as a member of the organizing committee for our LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing Festival at Bruce's Field, and had her rookie start as a competitor in the March 2021 showcase.
Originally from Buffalo, Wyoming, Annie chose to live in and grow her successful equestrian business in Aiken. Here, she developed a strong following, all of whom were fortunate to gain from her love and knowledge of the sport. Her huge smile, infectious laugh, enthusiasm for life, and dedication to her sport, made her an endearing member of our community.
It was Annie’s intention to compete in the CCI4*-L, at The Event at Rebecca Farm, in July of 2021 and ultimately to one day represent her country on the world stage. In the spirit of Annie’s ambitions, the Aiken Horse Park Foundation has established the Annie Goodwin Rising Star Fund, to foster, support and develop Aiken’s young equestrians who embody Annie’s character and dedication in their respective sports.
Supported by her friends and family, the Annie Goodwin Rising Star Fund will have a lasting impact on equestrian sport and will allow us all to hold on to Annie’s spirit in perpetuity.
