Marcy grew up outside of Rochester, NY. She attended Keuka College for two years and then followed her family to Massachusetts where she graduated from Westfield State College with a BS in Business Management.

Marcy’s love of horses began early. She started riding when she was 10 years old, joined The United States Pony Clubs, and moved through the ranks – eventually graduating at the “B” level. Pony Club got her involved in the sport of 3-Day Eventing. In 1985 Marcy moved to Upperville, VA to pursue her love of horses. While living and working in the Middleburg/Upperville area, Marcy continued competing and progressed to the Intermediate Level.
