LIVE Plaidcast: The Story of Wills Park with Cheryl Sims | Ep 37

Hosting a live episode of The Plaidcast during the Inside the Ingate Season Finale Watch Party was such a special experience for me. Being surrounded by my local horse community — sharing stories, laughter, and memories — reminded me exactly why I love what I do.

For this live show, I sat down with Cheryl Simms, Horse Show Manager at Wills Park Equestrian Center, and Piper Klemm, Publisher of The Plaid Horse. We talked about the history and heart behind Wills Park, how it’s evolved over the years, and the efforts that go into keeping it affordable, welcoming, and community-focused. Cheryl’s dedication to preserving this space for local riders is inspiring, and Piper’s perspective on legacy and storytelling added so much depth to the conversation.

For me, this episode was a reminder that Wills Park isn’t just a showground — it’s a reflection of the passion, hard work, and sense of belonging that make our equestrian community so special.

I hope you enjoy!

Love, Kelly
