Just wondering if anyone has an opinions or experience working with Emily Elek and/or Stonewall Ponies/Stonewall Farm?
Haven’t worked with her personally but always heard wonderful things. She has many, MANY lovely ponies that do well every year.
Ditto what Supershorty said!
Emily is great! She was kind enough to lend us large ponies to use at IHSA shows year after year. She herself rode on an IHSA team and knew how hard it was to put on a show. Her ponies were always a treat to handle and ride. I’ve never bought or leased a pony from her but I hear nothing but good things from everyone who has ever worked with her! I live in the same area as her and she has a great reputation.
I’ve seen them at shows, the ponies always are well turned out and do well and the kids always seem to be having fun. Never seen anyone be yelled at, even the one kid who rides like a wild monkey. She seems to really understand it’s supposed to be fun.

My daughters have competed against her riders over the years… ^^^ this exactly ^^^
If I lived closer to her my kids would be there yesterday…
We have gotten several horses and ponies through her. She has a tremendous network of contacts nationwide. Her integrity is stellar. She will work with you to ensure you have the right horse or pony for your needs and budget. All of the ponies she trains have wonderful ground manners. I highly recommend her.
