The Memories are Yours to Keep
Equine Sports Media, LLC was founded in 2003 as a combination of passions: horses, fine art photography, and marketing. Our success stems from our small portfolio of clients, who represent some of the best and brightest in the equestrian industry, and who were willing to share their journey with an untested agency.
EQUINE SPORTS MEDIA's founders are Cindy and Glenn Carpenter.
It seems that a horse obsession is almost a prerequisite to being a little girl. Horses and equine sports have been Cindy’s lifelong obsession. She has engaged in various equine disciplines, including Western Pleasure, Reining, Hunter/Jumper, and Dressage. Her extensive experience with horses, combined with a successful career in Sales and Marketing, offers her customers a unique perspective. Additionally, Cindy is a member of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). She is a USDF bronze medalist.
On May 30, 1972, a 13-year-old boy stood in the batter’s box of a Dixie Youth baseball game. He had already hit two home runs in that game. His brother and best friend were standing outside the fence, so proud of what this skinny, coach’s son had accomplished. With much bravado the boy said to the two, “I’m gonna hit the next one out for you.” The brother and best friend laughed and went back into the stands thinking the boy was so lucky to have hit the first two. The boy went into the batter’s box and half heartedly pointed to the outfield fence with his bat as if to call where he was going to hit the next pitch. The first pitch was right where he liked them; shoulder high and right down the middle. CRACK! Home run number three.
Glenn remember thinking after the game there will be lots of days like this. But all through the Dixie League and high school, there was never another day that ever quite equaled that one. "I still have the baseball from the third home run sitting in my catcher’s mitt from that game in my office. I find my mind taking me back to that day in 1972 every time I am in the midst of the joy experienced during a great ride, the celebration after a goal is accomplished, or just the feeling one gets just being around their horse. We always think there will be more days like these magical moments, but many times they are never repeated. It brings me great pleasure to know that I am helping everyone celebrate and preserve some of the singular, magical moments in their lives."
Glenn graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography. He also holds a computer science degree from Gulf Coast State College.
