Shannon P.  Part Timer/Lead Chores crew ; Shannon grew up working in a Saddlebred Show Barn and is trained in Saddle Seat.  She's a long time horse owner recently apopting a 40 year old pony and the love of her life (besides her husband) was a 5 gaited saddlebred named "Hagen." Shannon is a friendly, peaceful addition to our horse handling team and is a competent handler.  She also has a keen eye when working with the horses daily and always goes the extra mile for the horses benefit and takes extra steps to allow them to just be a horse. You can see Shannon these days either taking immaculate care of the horses and barn (not a spec in her stalls) or expanding her knowlege retraining herself via lessons and practice in hunter/jumper.  Stay tuned for some upcoming changes for Shannon as she prepares to take on a bigger and more strategic role in the Stables as a NARHA (North American Riding for Handicapped Association Inc) certified instructor.  We're early in the process but moving steadily forward!
