A full-service equestrian training and boarding facility serving north Santa Cruz County. GEC sponsors Santa Cruz County Symphony 2007-2008 Season       Dorothy Wise purchased the Glenwood Equestrian Center in 2001 with the goal of creating a first-class equestrian facility providing the highest quality training and riding instruction in a safe, fun, and attractive environment.       Dorothy started riding at the age of seven and, while earning her Computer Science degree at Princeton University, rode on their intercollegiate team. She worked at NBI as a programmer/manager in Boulder, CO and owned a horse with whom she competed in Eventing, until the birth of her fi rst child. In 1991, she moved to California, where she worked at Borland in Scotts Valley, then Novell. When the opportunity came to work at startup Agile Software, she jumped at the chance, retiring in 2000 with the birth of her third child. Upon purchasing this current property, she returned to her love of horses and started riding again.       During the last seven years, the Glenwood Equestrian Center has been completely renovated. In 2002, based on the type and number of improvements made, Ecology Action, an organization focused on designing and implementing waste reduction and pollution prevention programs throughout Santa Cruz County, selected Glenwood Equestrian Center a best practices demonstration site for other horse property owners in the county.       The Glenwood Equestrian Center consistently receives compliments on its cleanliness and friendly atmosphere. With trainers Jiji Mellon and Dee White, the Center is well on its way to achieving its goal of becoming a premier competitive training facility in the Santa Cruz area for dressage, jumping and eventing.

Dorothy was on the Symphony Board for fi ve years holding various positions, including Board President in 1995-96. During the last 15 years, she has been a stalwart sponsor of the symphony, including soloists, concerts and the season. Thanks to Dorothy for supporting excellence in both riding and music in Santa Cruz County!
