BRIAN LOOKABILL
Brian has made a significant impact on our sport from almost every angle—announcer, producer, manager, organizer, problem solver and mentor
in the hunter, jumper and reining industries. He has been involved with major competitions across the globe including Wellington International,
League of Nations, FEI World Equestrian Games, Global Champions Tour and National Reining Breeders Classic, to name a few.
What makes Brian especially deserving of this recognition is his commitment to the people of our sport. He is known for his work ethic,
his willingness to tackle any challenge and his ability to make exhibitors, staff, sponsors and spectators feel valued. Whether he is behind a
microphone, managing an event, mentoring others, or developing new opportunities for competitors, he consistently puts the success of the horse
community first.
Brian goes above and beyond the call of duty in his professional endeavors, yet ALWAYS somehow puts his family, friends and community first.
He is always first to lend a helping hand to someone in need.
