Women Unscripted

Our guest this week is Amateur event rider Frankie Thierot Stutes from California who made her 5-star debut with her handsome 11 year old Oldenburg gelding Chatwin finishing fourth at Luhmuhlen in Germany.  It was an impressive performance against the an all-star field including the World No1 rider making this even more notable for the 32 year old mother of two.  Their participation in the event was made possible by Frankie winning the 2018 Rebecca Broussard International Award presented at the 2019 United States Eventing Association’s Convention last December. Chris Stafford caught up with Frankie as she was driving Chatwin home from the airport after his long journey that would lead to a well deserved vacation.

This week's guest is the longest tenured coach in the Pac-12, Lesle Gallimore, who has led the University of Washington women’s soccer team for the past 25 seasons. On the cusp of her retirement – a final run for the Huskies this fall with over 250 wins to her name – Lesle shares her take on the evolvement of the collegiate landscape, the game itself, and how she’s molded her coaching style to better meet today’s student-athletes. A true trailblazer, Lesle has carried the leadership baton for female coaches not only in soccer, but across women’s sports.

It’s not often that one gets to have compelling conversations with women in their 90’s who are still passionate about their chosen sport and as competitive as ever, even fitter than they were in their 70’s.  This is one of those interviews that draws you in when you think you’re going to discuss their sporting career and those stand out moments, the titles and the trophies, touching on their past to set the story in context. But then the conversation lingers on a distant time in their life that shaped their future and with the years those memories become more precious, deserving to be shared with a wider audience and memorialized. That is one of the reasons why it’s important to record these biographical stories in the person’s own voice. So when we were introduced to Rita Price who turns 93 this week it was obvious that this was a story to be told and so we had a wonderful conversation about her tennis yes but also about her life growing up in New York during the Second World War.  Rita shares those memories of being a dancer and playing the night clubs and how tennis became a natural partner to her dancing career. She is rightly proud of her achievements on the court, in singles, doubles and mixed doubles and recalls those highlights, her partners and the tournaments that paved the way. An Inductee of the Colorado Hall of Fame in 2013 which proved to be a bumper year for Rita. She continues to play a few times a week, competes with her partner Jane Lutz with who she won the 90s Nationals in La Jolla recently, and in between the tennis she stays fit with gym work and Tai Chi, and of course she still sings and dances.

Exactly two years ago today Hunter/Jumper rider Emily Karp, 21. suffered serious injuries when she fell from her horse while schooling over a grid of cavaletti. She sustained nerve damage to C5-6-7 in her neck which left her paralyzed in a wheelchair and needing to learn to walk again.  Doctors told her parents: “Your daughter was this close to being paralyzed for the rest of her life.” However, it wasn’t long before her desire to get back on the horse again motivated her to ride her old faithful Morgan rescue When In Rome or “Romeo”—a Morgan pony rescue, who she knew would be safe to get her started again. The long road of rehab and recovery began but it wasn’t long after the accident that Emily decided that she wanted to turn professional; not even a frightening accident was going to deter her from doing what she loved. Now two years later and she has begun showing in hunters again with her mare H.E. Regality.
