Plymouth, NH (September 16, 2023)—Athletic Equestrian and Ringside Pro announce their
partnership with the Athletic Equestrian League Membership Management Platform. Ringside
Pro, an industry leader in equestrian software solutions and the Athletic Equestrian League
(AEL), a riding league for 1 st - 12 th graders and adults, have partnered to produce this online
solution to manage the AEL membership.
Sally Batton, a collegiate coach for over 35 years, founded the AEL in 2010 to provide
competition that was more objective in nature than subjective. Emma Fass founded Ringside Pro
in 2019 with the goal of creating software for all types of horse shows that would be easy to use
and affordable. “Emma was able to build our membership site and tailor it directly for the AEL
which has been huge for us,” says Jenna Boillotat Upson, the AEL Membership and Marketing
Director. “We’ve used membership platforms in the past that were designed for other sports and
they just didn’t have the features that we needed.”
Emma Fass rode competitively as a child which transitioned to competing on the Intercollegiate
Horse Shows Association Equestrian team at the University of Virginia. After college she was
working as a software engineer when she saw the need for online horse show management in her
local area and Ringside Pro was born. “This partnership with AEL is incredibly meaningful to
me. The AEL mission is something I really believe in and I know will prepare the next
generation of equestrians. Sally is an icon in our industry and both she and Jenna have a vision
for innovation in the equestrian world. I’m excited for the future because we hope to use some of
the other features on the Ringside Pro Platform such as an online entry tool and point standings.”
