Meet Sharon
Sharon has called San Luis Obispo county home since attending Cal Poly and graduating with a degree in Ag Business Management. Her riding experience started in Pony Club with a little Hunter/Jumper thrown in, branched out to Eventing then to Dressage; all of this was done mostly on the back of a Connemara. She has also shown Arabians in Dressage and applies Dressage principles to a Rocky Mountain horse while dabbling in Mounted Archery. She rides her pony Whisper, a Connemara mare, in Dressage. Sharon has explored many trail rides throughout the county and continues to get out and relish the wonder of San Luis Obispo county. Sharon revised and re-launched SLO Horse News in 2015.
