The Whitebrook Equestrian Center is owned and run by head trainer Summer
Swift. From a young age Summer became interested in horses. When
Summer was in high school she bought her first Warmblood, WEC Tamarac.
Ever since Summer has been interested in breeding and training Warmblood
Sport horses for showjumping, equitation, dressage, cross-country, and
hunter under saddle. Summer graduated from College with a degree in
Animal Science and started the Whitebrook Equestrian Center shortly
after she graduated in 2004. Summer is well versed in every discipline
and also acts as barn manager as well as trainer and owner. Summer has
an eye for great warmbloods, and she hopes her breeding program here at
the WEC will become world renowned!
Spicer Grey is joined the Whitebrook team as an assistant trainer
shortly after his sister, Tessa. He was nervous around horses at first
and was not a very good rider, but in a matter of two years he has
mastered the riding skill and has become a bold and fierce competitor.
He is just beginning to show in the jumping arena but is doing well so
far. He has learned how to train young horses under the apprentice of
head Trainer Summer Swift. Spicer moved into the Whitebrook Equestrian
Center to become a full time assistant trainer and is a competitor to
look out for on the show jumping circuit.
Tessa Grey is an assistant trainer here at the Whitebrook Equestrian
Center. Tessa started riding when she was only six years old at a local
hunter barn. Tessa quickly scaled the ranks and became one of the top
Equitation riders in no time. By the age of eighteen she had already
won numerous jumping championships and decided it was time to begin work
at a top ranked Hanoverian breeding and showing barn. Tessa Grey began
as an apprentice but due to her knowledge and skill with horses was
quickly promoted to assistant trainer. She moved into the residence of
the Whitebrook Equestrian Center with her mare, WEC All That Glitters.
Her brother soon joined the ranks of showing and training right along
with her.
Sophie Hall is a new up and coming rider who started an apprenticeship here at the WEC. She joined the Whitebrook Competition team as a fairly unexperienced rider but has come a long way since her days of junior riding! Sophie will be leasing WEC/CDC Onatello exclusively for showing but you may see her around the competition trying her at at varying disciplines with other horses as well. This rider is one to look out for as she is determined and focused. Sophie has soft hands and a gentle nature making her the perfect rider for some of our hotter headed stallions.
