In Memoriam: Wanda Webb
Wanda Webb, a dedicated rider and instructor on the western Eventing circuit for over 30 years, died March 27, 2015, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Wanda competed through the one-star level and is best known for competing her horse Country Swing at the Preliminary level throughout the West.
Wanda grew up on the 3/B Ranch in Wilson, Wyoming, and learned to ride in 4-H. As kids, Wanda and her sister Wendy rode their horses on mountain trails adjacent to the family ranch, sometimes leaving to ride for the day with just a picnic lunch. She started to compete in the late 1970’s on the local circuit and rode with Tom Ordway in clinics the 1980’s. Wanda organized the early Jackson Hole Horse Trials on the Huidekoper Ranch in the late 1980’s introducing Jackson Hole to the sport of eventing. After a decade of training and competing, Wanda and Wendy built the Flying W Stables in 1995. Wanda, head instructor for the Flying W until 2009, trained many successful kids and adults. Wanda was influenced by Area VII instructor Jean Moyer and Mark and Tanya Kyle, four-star riders based in England, who conducted several training clinics in Wyoming and California with the Flying W team.
Wanda was known for her generous smile and flying braid as she competed in events around the West. She is remembered as an inspiring mentor, coach, teacher, sister, and friend.
