Sporting Services was the brainchild of Sue and Buck Smithson of Southern Pines, NC. Late 2016, they decided it was time to move onto the next chapter of their life, and pass the torch on to Patricia Hildreth and Cassidy Sitton of Zebulon, NC. Patti and Cassidy bring a combined experience of competing, horse show management, and varied professional backgrounds to Sporting Services.
