Melanie grew up here in Montgomery County, but also lived in Savannah, Georgia and Chicago for a while. As a child she rode horses for a few years and returned to the the sport as an adult as a form of exercise, focusing on posture, form, and balance. Her training has been focused on biomechanics and dressage, but is interested in a wide variety equestrian sports, including endurance racing, competitive trail riding, and most especially, mounted archery. 

“I’m very passionate about good horse care and ground training, so I went to the Equine Management Training Center at Sandy River in 2018 for their professional groom certificate program to make horses my full-time career. I’ve groomed and cared for 4**** event horses, 3 year-old OTTBs, and 38 year-old retirees with Cushing’s, and believe they all have something valuable to teach us'”

Melanie went to the Savannah College of Art and Design for her bachelor’s degree, and specialized in comics. Drawing and a variety of other crafts fills up her leisure time. On her days off, Melanie usually goes to the archery range or for a hike with her family’s two dogs.

Sharon is an international 5* eventing rider and trainer based out of West Virginia and Florida who specializes in producing horses and riders to their highest level of training, horsemanship and competition.  
     Sharon’s philosophy is grounded in the fact that horses are very earnest creatures that go the way they are ridden and handled.  Success is always possible.
     Sharon’s lessons are tailored to meet the needs of each horse and rider.  She teaches them to be aware of their physical and mental states as their horse will mirror these.  There is always a reason for anything a horse does and good horsemanship is knowing this.  
Sharon’s easy going manner and sense of humor make her a favorite instructor wherever she goes.
