Cari Gleeson still finds
herself with the same love of horses she had when she was five. As a
child she showed ponies in New England. Her small stature kept her in
the pony ring until she was eighteen. Earning a Bachelor’s Degree
in Education, she taught elementary school for ten years w
Her daughters, both quite accomplished now, began riding in 2002. It was a natural progression for her to teach them. She took a training position at Maypine Farm; her passion for horses and teaching united.
Stepping Stone Farm, the name of her business, was called such because ponies act as stepping stones for the kids on their journey to success and learning. Located at Chagrin Valley Farms 216-390-2952, you can easily find them, just look for the small children and ponies!
