Stephanie Burnham

Hi my name is Stephanie Burnham and although I live in the city, I'm a Southern country girl at heart. I started riding horses when I was 4 yrs. old and it has always been my first and foremost passion. Most of my knowledge came from many years of 4-H, FFA, lessons, and dedicated years of working under trainers and learning how to become one with your horse and trust in each other.  I have worked with many breeds of horses in multiple disciplines and have been involved in the business end of buying, training, and selling horses.

I have ridden and shown in English pleasure, Western Pleasure, Rodeo, and Basic dressage. Threw my years of riding I was able to learn many disciplines and have loved each and everyone. I have a wonderful daughter who loves horses just as much as I do and I can't wait to teach her the art of riding. Riding a horse takes you to a whole other world where all that matters is the here and now. These majestic animals bring so much joy and love to everyone that comes in contact with them.

Horses free us from many of the limitations of our bodies.  Some of my best times growing up were doing things with my friends and my horses. We spent hours playing at the barn. Sometimes we would go to the jump arena and pretend we were horses. Other times we'd be out riding and pretend space invaders were coming after us and we had to outrun them by galloping across an open field. Silly? Yes, but these are fond memories. Horses let kids be kids. They nurture the imagination and enjoyment of life. I would love to pass this knowledge along to children and help them build their own memories to look back on. 

Horses teach us about ourselves, they see us as we really are and don't care if we are the President of a company or the janitor in the local middle school.  In a relationship with a horse there is no room for ego, you have to earn their respect and love.  Presently my wish is to share with others the beauty of the relationship that can be built between horse and rider.

 I can't wait to share my knowledge and love with riders of every age Hope to see you soon.
