About: Our Staff
Bob founded the Classic Company Ltd in 1992. He loves horse shows! When shows in the southeast were beginning to fail, and with a push from Carol Kent, the Charleston Summer Classic was born. Bob produces 24 horse shows a year with a budget of many millions of dollars. He serves as a USAE Federation Representative Committee Member, and a USAE Competition Mangers Committee Member, along with being a USAE Steward. Bob also served on the Zone Four Committee of USAE for the past 6 years.

Tissy Principe, Personal Assistant / Woman in Charge!
Above a four car garage, the Classic Company headquarters has four workstations, five computers, a fax and four phones. Tissy is in charge. She keeps the stall counts for the shows, balances the check books, fills out all the association applications and paperwork, gets the mail and answers the phone. She also takes care of Bob's dog, Abby, when he has to fly to a show! Tissy is a USAE Steward and stays very busy with a farm with retired horses.

Becky Miles, Sponsor Coordinator
Becky created her job with the Classic Company and every year sees increases in sponsorship. She has not lost a single sponsor because they were not given what she promised. She works very hard from her home office in Dacula, GA, and is a great asset to the Classic Company.

Jonathan Rabon, Office Manager
Jonathan not only keeps track of our office at the show, but the points and paperwork at our home office. When you leave a horse show the paper just begins — he often spends the entire time between shows working on the past or the next. Dedicated to his job, Jonathan often works seven days a week, week in and week out. He serves on the USAE Show Secretaries Committee and works for several other events each year, such as Uppervillle, Capitol Challenge, Vermont Summer, and many shows in Texas as a show secretary. Jonathan also works as an agent for EMO Insurance.

Tissy volunteered to help Bob with the stalls for the Charleston Summer Classic in 1992. Tissy then found out the books were not balanced and that the company was run on Post-it® Notes. Not now.
Allen joined the Classic Company in its conception with the Charleston Summer Classic. His abilities and knowledge allowed the company to grow, and he contributed greatly to the company's success.
Janet joined the Classic Company in 1999 with her brain child, the Gulf Coast Winter Series. Janet and Bob Bell worked together so well producing the fall West Tennessee Hunter Jumper Association horse show, that Janet invited Bob to visit the Gulf Coast to look at a show facility she had found. The rest is history.
Becky found the Classic Company via her sister-in-law, who was helping the SCHJA show at Chateau Elan in 1994.
Jonathan joined the Classic Company in 1994 and with his computer knowledge, became the office manager. He was instrumental in our company software creation and office procedures.
Carol joined the Classic Company first. Carol took Bob Bell aside in 1989 and told him it was time to start his own shows. At that time, Bob was working for Carol and Lawrence Kent and Horse Show Services as a show secretary. Bob took her stern advice and the Classic Company was formed.
Dr. Juan joined the Classic Company seven years ago when the Gulf Coast shows were added to our show schedule. Juan travels to all of the Classic and Gulf Coast Classic Company events except Charleston. He does a great job of keeping our horses in the show ring.
