Sheridan Sandberg
I’ve been judging for just about 10 years. I was a collegiate judge at William Woods University in MO where I placed top 10 in the nation at the Morgan Grand Nationals judging competition and was part of a top 10 team at APHA worlds. I’ve been riding and showing for 27 years and currently own and operate Sandberg Performance horses where I produce quality ranch show horses, teach lessons, break colts and just about everything else anyone asks for!

Mary Jo Zanolli
Mary Jo Zanolli has over 25 years experience teaching riders of all ages and skill levels how to connect with and enjoy horses. She incorporates basic dressage principles into her instruction to help horse and rider develop balance, clear understanding of aids, and partnership.
MJ learned to ride at a Massachusetts eventing barn, at which time she was also an active 4-H Club member and competitor. Besides the open show circuit, MJ competed in youth dressage and eventually the lEA college team. As a young professional, she took a more serious approach to dressage- working with multiple nationally recognized trainers.
MJ's current equine partners Ella and Rylee continue to be a constant source of inspiration to improve her own riding and understanding of horses. Besides competing at both schooling and open shows, Ella in particular enjoys hunter paces!
As a newly carded novice judge MJ is very excited to begin her judging journey. She hopes to pass on encouragement and enthusiasm in a positive way to anyone she meets in the show ring.

Reviews:

The Hartwig Farms online shows are so fun and inclusive. There is something for everyone! Plus, you don't have to wait forever for the results to come in like other online shows. It's amazing! -Chris N-

Warm and welcoming to all types of exhibitors. There is something for everyone. You make everyone feel important and seen. It is easy to navigate and to find something that fits your showing needs. You are so easy to work with and quick to answer any and all questions. You genuinely care about your exhibitors and I am blessed to be part of this show family. You rock and your shows are awesome! -Amber Porter-

All the online/virtual shows that I have done over the past year and a half this one has to be the most friendliest and welcoming I have ever had they honor of joining. I am a disabled rider and they have never use that against me or judged me unfairly they allow me not only to join the exceptional division, but allow me to compete against able-bodied people, and while I may not always win, they still judge me fairly and considerately  and they make me feel like part of the family just like everybody else, and I have met several friends through this show. And the prizes and the belt buckles are awesome and good quality. - Krystal H-

I would just like to take a minute to thank Alli Hartwig for hosting these amazing shows! It has given me a chance to truly focus with my greenie Apollo. I rescued him 6 years ago when he was a yearling, but being in the military, it took me awhile to start him. He is the first green horse I’ve ever owned and it’s been an adventure so far, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you again for giving us an outlet to grow as a team. ❤️-Carly M

Alli (Hartwig Farms) is so supportive, encouraging, fast to respond to questions, shares results quickly from shows or challenges, and the beautiful awards are shipped timely. I would recommend Hartwig Farms 100%. With Alli's encouragement, I started entering more classes while training my horse and it's been a great experience seeing our growth. Thanks for always being there for all of us Alli. -Chris Francilo

5 Stars Incredible -Chrissy Frey-

I have been involved with Hartwig Farms from the beginning, I've seen the shows evolve from a small, fun show to a much larger, well organized, extended class lists for all levels of horse and rider. Hartwig Farms has one of the best run Virtual Horse Shows going today! With quick turn around on results, we are all like kids waiting for our results! Looking forward to the awards banquet and 2023 season. I also love the comradery and the sportsmanship between all the exhibitors. -Deanna Ross-

Wow! Where to start? Alli is amazing! She is timely with her posts, results, ribbon shipping and question answering. She is easy to contact & more than willing to accommodate any situations or answer any questions. The shows are fun and easy to enter, best of all affordable! Her ribbons and awards are gorgeous!! The group members are very supportive and all the events Alli runs are inclusive for any level!!!!! -Lisa Plate-

Your shows and competitions kept me motivated to work with my horses especially on the days I don't feel like going. The ribbons are beautiful, and you are a great host. Rebecca T-
