The tail of Stepping Stone. Originally formed in 2007 by CariGleeson Stepping Stone quickly grew to be the top choice for aspiring riders wanting to compete in hunter jumpers. In 2020 Cari decided to retire at which point her assistant, Emily Alinen purchased Stepping Stone from Carrie when she retired and continued to educate and promote excellence in horsemanship.
In 2022 Emily decided to take a bigger step and rebranded to Stepping Stone Equine LLC. truly making it her own. After 17 years of calling Chagrin Valley Farm home it was clear that Stepping Stone was growing and the next step was needed. Spring of 2024 that became a reality when Stepping Stone acquired its new home in Newbury, Ohio. This move allowed Stepping Stone expand and allowed the opportunity to truly have their own program. Since then Stepping Stone continues to raise the standard for their clients. We look forward to serving this area for many years to come.
