Emily has received awards for a consistently
strong showing record from the Maryland Saddle Association, the Southern
Maryland Horse Association, and the Potomac Valley Dressage Association.
She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in school counseling
from North Carolina Central University. Upon completion, she will offer
an equine therapy and life skills camp in addition to the lesson program.
She purchased Victory Calls Stables in
May, 2008 with her husband Tony. The location was the previous home
of Cane Creek Farm, a supplier
of local naturally-raised goats, chickens, and pigs. Renovations to
the barn and the addition of new fencing and the new riding arena were
completed with the help of Matt Gunter of Country
Estate Crafters of Efland, NC. Victory Calls is able to house 12
horses and the owners themselves, who live on the property. There are
plans for a second arena, as well as a covered round pen for beginner
lessons and longing.
