This just in from one of our remarkable alumna, in honor of our extraordinary stables and its accomplishments this week: Our first-ever participation in an international invitational event that has brought riders from around the world to Columbia:
Dear Ladies,Hearty and warm greetings from New York City !!!
I would first of all like to congratulate you all for your participation in the Stephens College Invitational and for your part in making College history.
I was introduced to, and fell in love with the world of "Saddle Seat" while a student at Stephens. My enthusiasm for the sport while at Stephens was fueled by the wonderful environment, a classmate named Nancy Gladish-Schatzberg and another student and dear, dear friend that was two years my junior; her name--Ellen Beard! Yes that Ellen Beard. This kid Ellen had a way of making things clear as well as making me believe in myself while in the ring. But I am sure by now you all already know that.Although I do not have much time for riding these days, it is a discipline that I will forever enjoy and admire. I want to wish you the very best of luck for rides that represent your finest efforts as equestrians but more importantly as young women. To Nicole, Mandi, Kahla, Sarah, Natalie, Laren and Erin remember when entering the ring to bring your game face, lots of heart and even more grace.
I will be thinking of you all!
--Keep Your Ears Up!! and Rack-On!!!Much Love,
