Member Memories
With Stephanie Gibson
After my 5 th child got well into elementary
school, I finally bought another horse, Summer
Blast. She was a young thoroughbred mare
and just had the basics. I brought her along in
dressage and jumping and participated in a
wide range of horse activities. My 3 rd child,
Coley, was very active as well and she got her
own horse. She also Joined Greenville Foothills
Pony Club and here I was again, full circle.
In the meantime,
I started working with Carolyn West. I am forever
grateful to her for teaching me, supporting me and
holding my hand through good times and bad. I
learned so much from her that I will never forget.
With her help, I climbed the levels and earned my
bronze medal , got my pro card, started teaching and
training again, thanks to Kimberly Carter at Bramblewood
Stables for the foot-in the-door opportunity, and
I did the USDF L Grad program.
