Sarah McKay has been an avid equestrian since the age of 8 years old and grew up in Central Virginia. Training under Sally Lamb and various influential instructors, Sarah competed in the Hunter/Jumper rings as a teenager while developing a passion for foxhunting and side saddle. After graduate school, Sarah moved to Minnesota and then Missouri, where she actively pursues her love of foxhunting and side saddle. In 2020, Sarah co-founded a private foxhunting pack, Ozark Highland Hounds, where she currently serves as President and co-Master. As part of this role, Sarah is also diligent in providing well maintained and transparent financial and organizational records. In addition to the hunt, Sarah enjoys volunteering at local therapy barns and sharing her love of side saddle and foxhunting with fellow riders, especially juniors. 

Outside of her equestrian pursuits, Sarah is the Director of Market Development at the National Corn Growers Association. Sarah provides key support to NCGA’s animal agriculture, industrial use and new use efforts. Prior to NCGA, Sarah worked as a part of the procurement/supply chain team supporting dairy operations at General Mills. She earned a master’s degree in agricultural and applied economic management from Virginia Tech and bachelor’s degrees in both animal and poultry sciences, and agricultural applied economics with an emphasis in international trade and development from the same institution.
