Jackie Eckert, the founder and owner of Equi In Style, calls herself a late bloomer. She speaks fondly of her days as a flight attendant in the 70s – the heyday of air travel aboard state-of-the-art Eastern Airlines jets. “That was my college degree right there,” she says. After spending her youth and much of her young adulthood traveling, both as a part of a military family and as a flight attendant, Jackie now focuses her worldly college skills on another of her passions: equestrian sport.
