About Us
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
Wesley Rosner
PRESIDENT
I’m Wes Rosner, founder of ShowGroundsLive.com. I’m a long time software developer, helping business, non-profits and educational institutions develop systems to improve processes and usability.
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.


Sheryl Magdycz
CUSTOMER OPERATIONS MANAGER
Sheryl is a local of Western Massachusetts with a business degree and a background which includes sales and office management. With almost 7 years here at ShowGrounds she has worked hard to learn more about the technical aspects of our business, the products, and the equestrian world as a whole.
“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 exhibitors and to have the opportunity to learn something new every day.”
In her free time Sheryl enjoys hunting, fishing, and singing.

Josephine Faneuf
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Josephine is a Western Mass native and has been with ShowGrounds for over 5 years, with her administrative work history she was quickly transitioned into a bookkeeping role. She attended WEG in 2018 in Tryon, NC which ShowGrounds held a small presence at and was able to get a first hand glimpse into the “horse world”.
Since then she has been along for the steady expansion of the business and hopes great things for ShowGrounds future. “It’s gratifying and almost unbelievable to see such a small, home grown business continually expand and grow. It’s becoming its own staple in a very niche type of business.”
Outside of work Josephine leads a physically active lifestyle, attends school part time and is enslaved by her Mini Dachshund, Maverick.
Heather Howard

Heather currently lives in Eastern Oregon, but grew up in Tennessee. After obtaining her animal 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.
