Growing up around horses has led Melissa to have a diverse riding background including awards in Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage, 3-Day Eventing, Western, Vaulting, and Sidesaddle. |
| For Shelley horses have always been a way of life. As a young girl she rode her horse to school. In high school she galloped her horse around the track at every touchdown. As a junior rider Shelley was a national champion in saddleseat and sidesaddle. Shelley's students have competed in Dressage, Hunters & Western Stock Seat. Today Shelley enjoys sharing her experience and passion for horses with the next generation of equestrians! |
