A 2005 graduate of the Olds College Groom School program, Gregory, who hails from Strathmore, a town of around 12,000 people located 40 kilometres east of Calgary, might be best known for being a trainer.

But she’s more than just that. Much more, in fact.

“I guess you could say I’m still just like that little girl who loves horses,” says Gregory with a laugh. “To be involved with horses and in thoroughbred racing in a lot of different ways, is a true joy for me. It’s hard work, but that’s fine with me. I love what I do.”
