Fay Strasel

Fay has been in love with anything that has to do with horses since she was a little girl. When she first wanted riding lessons, she worked them off at a farm near her home in Virginia Beach. She also got her first horse, Sunny (hence the name "Sunny's" Corner Farm) at that farm. She and Sunny went on to showing in all different styles, Western, Eventing, and Hunters. She has passed her love of horses onto her two daughters, Piper and Christa. Piper has been riding since she was very little and shows a huge interest in the Hunters, but mostly the Equitation and the Medals. Christa, being only three years old is already competing in the Lead-Line divisions, and loves all three of her ponies!

 

Ann Louise Markert

Ann Louise was born in Sweden where she received most of her training. While Ann Louise does a great job training the hunter ponies and riders, her true love is the Eventing scene. She has owned her own horse, Rhythm (Glenord's Celtic Rhythm) since she was a filly. Ann Louise has done extensive training with her horse, and is now competing in high level events, and doing very well. Ann Louise has two daughters, one of which is also a very talented young rider, competing in high level events with both Robin (Glenord's Christopher Robin) and Rhythm.
