Send us Fan MailEmily Elek is one of the most respected and prolific figures in American pony hunter sport — a trainer, breeder, and program builder whose Stonewall Ponies in Ixonia, Wisconsin has become one of the largest and most recognized pony operations in the country. While attending the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she majored in zoology, she helped establish the school's equestrian team and competed in the open equitation divisions and the Cacchione Cup. That combination of academic rigor and hands-on equestrian leadership was a preview of the career she would build. While Elek was still in school, her mother purchased 38 acres that would become Stonewall Farm in Ixonia, Wisconsin — and what began as family land became the foundation of one of the Midwest's most significant equestrian programs. Today, Elek operates one of the largest pony leasing, sales, breeding and training operations in the country, taking a holistic view in developing ponies and riders for lifelong success. Her breeding program has produced generations of competitive hunter ponies, and her leasing model has long been recognized as one of the most thoughtful and accessible in the sport. Her stated goal — to produce top quality ponies while allowing kids to have the same opportunities she had — is evident in the reach and structure of Stonewall's program, which sends ponies to riders across the country and annually fields one of the largest strings at USEF Pony Finals. At Pony Finals, the Stonewall show team competes on average about 20 ponies in barn and has leased or sold annually up to 100 other competing ponies. Beyond the ring, Elek has emerged as a genuine voice in the governance and structure of pony sport. She has written and spoken publicly about the format and future of USEF Pony Finals, advocating for changes that prioritize partnership between pony and child rider — a perspective shaped by decades of watching young riders develop through the division she has dedicated her career to. As a horsewoman, she has said she is most proud of her older ponies that are still out there teaching kids how to ride — proof, in her view, of a strong foundation and good care when a horse or pony is happily working in their late teens and twenties. Emily Elek is, in every meaningful sense, one of the great stewards of the pony world — a professional whose program has launched countless junior careers and whose commitment to accessibility and quality in equal measure has made Stonewall Ponies a name that resonates from the Midwest circuit to the championship rings of Kentucky.Lily Bisson is a Maryland-based equestrian, horse farm owner, and nonprofit founder whose response to one of life's most difficult diagnoses became a gift to an entire community. An avid foxhunter with clubs in Maryland and an amateur eventer at local venues, Lily owns a horse farm in Clarksburg, Maryland — a life built entirely around horses and the tight-knit community that surrounds them. She was diagnosed at 40 with breast cancer during her first routine mammogram, a moment that would change the trajectory of her life in ways she could not have anticipated.When she joined a few online support groups for women with breast cancer, most didn't quite fit. "It was the women in my local horse community who truly understood," she said. That realization planted a seed. During her recovery from a double mastectomy, while she couldn't ride, Bisson launched Gallop For Life, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — channeling the energy she could not put into the saddle into something that would reach far beyond her own barn.Gallop For Life is a grassroots organization that sends equestrian-themed gift baskets to newly diagnosed women across the country, each basket handmade by Meredith Ingram, one of the group's survivors. While the support group is specific to breast cancer, the charity sends baskets to women diagnosed with any type of cancer. What began as one rider's determination not to face a devastating diagnosis alone has grown into a national network of horsewomen supporting each other through the hardest rides of their lives. Among the organization's future initiatives is establishing a financial aid process specifically targeted to help horse professionals who are self-employed — jockeys, farriers, and trainers — who need assistance during treatment.The reach of Gallop For Life has extended into the hunt field as well. In 2024, the "Chase for the Cure" brought together members of five different hunts, with all proceeds benefiting the charity — a testament to how deeply Bisson's mission has resonated across the equestrian community she has always called home. Gallop For Life's mission is to stand beside every equestrian woman battling cancer, providing the support and assistance they need to navigate through the challenging journey — because horsewomen, as Lily Bisson knows firsthand, are fiercely strong, independent, and far less likely to ask for help than they are to need it.Sally Batton is one of the most accomplished and innovative coaching minds in American collegiate equestrian sport — a hunter-jumper educator, author, clinician, and institution builder whose career spans four decades and touches every level of the sport from first grade through Division I athletics. She served as the head coach of the Dartmouth College Division I Varsity Equestrian Team for thirty years, coaching dozens of riders to regional, zone, and national titles — a tenure that established her as one of the most respected figures in the IHSA universe and one of the most effective developers of the complete equestrian athlete in the collegiate space. She is the past Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association National Steward, was presented with the IHSA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013 in recognition of her contributions and leadership within the organization, and in 2020 was inducted into the inaugural class of the IHSA Hall of Fame — a distinction that places her among the founding pantheon of the organization's most celebrated contributors. Batton is a certified instructor with both the United States Hunter Jumper Association and the American Riding Instructor's Association, and in 2008 was named ARIA Instructor of the Year. She holds an Equestrian Studies degree from Lake Erie College and a master's degree in Communications from Fairleigh-Dickinson University. Her contributions extend well beyond the show ring and the coaching box. Batton is the Founder and President of the Athletic Equestrian League, an organization which offers horsemanship education and competition opportunities to riders from first grade through adult, and she hosts the Athletic Equestrian Riding in College Podcast. In 2023, her training tool invention, the Sally Batton Pommel Blocker, was launched by Correct Connect, the industry leader in rider training aids. As an author, she co-wrote The Athletic Equestrian and Equicize, both Horse & Rider Books publications written alongside co-writer Christina Keim — books that have found devoted audiences among coaches and competitive riders at every level for their practical, biomechanics-based approach to developing strength, suppleness, and position in the saddle. Today, Sally travels all over the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, teaching clinics to riders of all ages and levels — bringing a career's worth of insight and methodology to every corner of the country where someone wants to become a better rider.Raegan Comeaux is a Louisiana-based hunter-jumper trainer, USEF licensed official, USHJA credentialed coach, curriculum developer, and founder whose career represents one of the most comprehensive visions of equestrian education currently operating in the American hunter-jumper world. She has been showing in the hunter-jumper discipline since the age of 8, and her professional life has been built entirely around transforming that lifelong passion into structured, accessible, high-quality equestrian education for riders at every level. A graduate of Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Animal Sciences with a specialty in Equine Science and a minor in Business and English, Comeaux brought both academic rigor and practical expertise to the facility she built alongside her mother from the ground up.

This episode of the Gresham College Podcast features an interview with Antony Penrose, hosted by Jeoffrey Sarpong. Antony Penrose is a film maker, photographer, author, artist, photo-curator, and co-founder of the Lee Miller Archives and The Penrose Collection.Following on from his Gresham College lecture, ‘Lee Miller's Indelible Images', we caught up with him to learn more about his mother Lee Miller's work as a photographer during the Second World War, the atrocities she bore witness to, and how the trauma of her work impacted her and her family after she returned home.Antony also reveals more about his efforts after Lee's death to preserve and popularise her photographic legacy. Her work reveals an extraordinary career that spanned multiple worlds: not only her wartime photography, but also her earlier years as a model and photographer for Vogue, and her involvement in the Surrealist movement alongside many of the leading artists of the pre-war period.Watch Antony's Gresham College lecture here:Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast. This one's going to be short—and honestly, it's an episode I didn't think I was going to record. Why? Well, if you've been following along with Cassidy's journey over the past year, you know we've covered a lot: from brainstorming her personal statement, to revising her supplements, to weighing her college acceptances.

So here we are: the final chapter (well, really the beginning) of Cassidy's college journey. In this quick update, Cassidy shares where she's heading this fall, why she chose it, and how she's getting ready for this next step.
