Stephanie has been riding for 17 years and especially enjoys working with young horses and making it fun for riders to get a good foundation for their riding. She started riding at a hunter/jumper barn and bought her first horse when she was 12 years old. She showed at local and rated hunter shows for the next three years before moving to a nearby show jumping and eventing barn. This barn was also a big advocate of pony club, so she was then introduced to Manada Creek Pony Club. She was in pony club for three or four years and trained with Mary Schwentker, a certified event trainer, for 5 years. She has also been fortunate enough to participate in some clinics with Lucinda Green, an Olympic rider from Great Britain. She and her husband bought their farm in Dillsburg two years ago and they currently have three horses which are competing in eventing and dressage. She is an active member of the United States Equestrian Federation and also the United States Eventing Association.
