Welcome To ShowGrounds
ShowGrounds was formed in 2006 by owner Wesley Rosner along with industry partners. The goal was to bring true technological advancement to the equestrian industry. Wesley Rosner is a veteran software developer with over twenty-five years of experience writing software for industry, non-profits, and educational institutions. Having written his first equestrian package in 1987, it was time to revisit the industry and the software. The software was built and designed from the ground up, leveraging all the changes and learning of the last two decades.
As president of Blue Fox, Inc, a custom software development firm, Wesley oversaw the development of the first version of ShowGrounds. As the product matured it was decided to “spin” the product into its own company. From that point on, ShowGrounds continues to develop and enhance its core product, the ShowGrounds office software, and its web portal solution, ShowGroundsLive.com.
If you have any questions about our work or how we enhance your horse shows, please contact us.

Our Valuable Team Members
I wrote my first horse show program at age 18 and returned the industry more than 2 decades later to start ShowGroundsLive, in 2016. It has been a journey that took us from our early start to managing the likes of WELLINGTON Equestrian Festival in the course of our first year in business. Needless to say we’ve been busy ever since.
I’m a person with many interests and, dare I say, skills. In my non-work time I take on projects big and small at my small farm in Western Massachusetts.
I’ve recently become involved in Draft horses with my significant other, which has been a welcome immersion into working with actual horses and not just software for equestrian events.
“I was a bit apprehensive at first about joining a company within an industry that I didn’t know much about, but it was my greatest move so far in my career. I love being able to work with both clients and the exhibitors and having the opportunity to learn something new every day.”
In her free time Sheryl enjoys hunting, fishing, and singing.
Her previous job at a large printing company helped her develop and fine tune her customer service skills. Her showing experience combined with her project management/customer service skills make her a great fit in her position as Customer Support Specialist.
In her spare time she enjoys riding her horses, photography and relaxing on the beach.
I have been a part of ShowGrounds since 2017
I work in the accounting department doing bookkeeping
When I’m not in the office I’m usually hiking with my dog Maverick, reading a good book or trying to find the perfect smoothie recipe.
With a passion for learning and personal development, Desmond is excited for the opportunity to both leverage existing experience, and build additional skills as the company unfurls into the latest leg of its journey.
Desmond’s preferred pronouns are He or They.
When I’m not hard at work, I enjoy building communities of like-minded individuals and spending time with Yoshi, my corgi puppy!
science degree, she moved west to advance her agricultural background. Most of her equestrian
background is in ranching and western horses, but she did spend a few years showing English as
well. She hasn’t been with ShowGrounds for very long, but she is excited to learn more and
grow with the company. When she isn’t working, she enjoys riding her horses, working her
Border Collie cowdogs, and raising her new baby.
I like troubleshooting as well as working in a team environment. I always try to raise the spirits of those around me. I’m a dedicated engineer, experienced cam-op, & supervisor. I mainly work out of Wellington. Success is something i strive for. When i’m not in the office i love doing anything active or adventurous with my pup “Surf”, camping, hiking, and fishing.
