Gastonia woman back in the saddle
The Gaston Gazette
The Gaston
Gazette on a recent February morning, she was toting so many of her horseback riding ribbons and medals that I thought I was going to have to run over to the pressroom and fetch a hand truck to help her bring them in. Wow, I thought, those must be from a lifetime of competition.
No, CJ corrected me, they re all from the past year.
But I m getting ahead of myself.
Some six decades ahead of myself.
CJ (no periods please) grew up in a rural corner of Ohio where, when she was a little girl, the farmer across the road owned a pony.
