Shannon Haycox is the assistant trainer who grew up with horses and then had a hiatus from it when she got married and raised three children. As soon as the opportunity arose, she returned to her passion, horses. She started out taking lessons from Laura and when they opened the business, she took on more training responsibilities.
Specializing in lessons for children and the less confident adults
“Most instructors will teach horsemanship or equitation, but I have not met anyone who treats teaching riding the way I look at life….How Laura teaches relates to all that I do. So the question is does someone want to learn to ride or does someone want to learn how to have a relationship with a horse while riding.” —Teri Balaska
Our School Horses
We believe our school horses have the best job. They must be able to accept lots of love and attention from people of all ages; they are our teachers and therefore are treated with as much respect and love as we treat our human teachers; they are given estate grown hay and the best nutritional supplements for overall health and well-being. Besides being carefully used in lessons, they enjoy recreational rides out on field or trail.
