US Equestrian Launches New Online Safe Sport Resource Center for Members

Staff Spotlight

Hello my name is Isaac Wilkinson and I am a Registry Services Representative. I have been with AHA for nine months.

1) If you had to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, but all your human needs—such as food and water—were taken care of, what two items would you want to have with you?

I would want to have my horse and sunscreen.

2) If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

I would be a Giraffe so I could be tall.

3) What’s your favorite time waster?

I like to waste my time watching Netflix with some wine.

4) What hobbies do you have outside of work?

My hobbies include minimal time at the gym, riding/showing my horse, and developing my cow-hide business.

5) What’s your favorite thing about working at AHA?

My favorite thing about AHA would be the industry connections that are made outside the office. Such as, traveling to shows and meeting new people.
