TESTIMONIALS
Shannon was a dream come true for us!
My five-year-old daughter had been wanting to ride horses for three years, and when we found Shannon and her ranch, it was a perfect fit! Shannon is so incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She was also very cautious, and would reschedule lessons due to heavy winds that might spook the horses, illness or otherwise. I LOVED that! I loved knowing that she never took risks with my child's safety.
She was also always prompt and ready to go when our lessons were scheduled to begin and
didn't hesitate to take a few extra minutes with my daughter, if needed. Shannon's kindness and devotion also extended to all of her animals, you could easily see that the horses were well-loved and well cared for. That love extended to every animal on the ranch, bunnies, chickens, and kittens, included!
We LOVED our three years riding with Shannon and we miss her dearly after our move. Learning and riding with her had a tremendously positive impact on my daughter. I know we'll always remember what an amazing teacher and friend Shannon is.
We're so thankful we found her when we did!
