Early in her career, Shanna trained children to ride and show horses. This is where she witnessed the therapeutic benefits of horses and the large positive impact that horses had on their young riders. This reflected her own experience growing up, as horses had helped her deal with her own early childhood trauma and the ongoing stress and challenges of life.
Shanna started utilizing the therapeutic benefits of horses to help children and adults alike. This motivated her to found Brighter Pastures. This is her way to help all of those who seek a connection with horses as a way of personal growth, therapy, and healing. Shanna’s caring nature, deep connection and understanding of horses allow her to infer a client’s thoughts, needs and feelings without them saying a word. Shanna loves helping people through horses and hopes that she can help many more!
