Shine Equine is the culmination of a lifetime passion for horses.
It all began with my desire to own a horse as a youth. Years later my little girl came to me with the same passion that I had myself, but even greater. The passion she displayed to want to learn to ride a horse is what brought myself back into the horse world. To my surprise my daughter displayed talent & great skill for riding in such a short period of time and chose to pursue the Reining industry.
All she spoke about was the fast spins, huge stops & high speeds for the run downs and large fast circles which were needed to complete the reining patterns. I decided to plan a mother daughter road trip from California to Arizona, to visit the industries top training facilities to try her first Reining horse. Shortly after the visit we decided to purchase a beautiful mare out of Magnum Chic Dream x Walla Walla Whiz from the beautiful facility, Storybook Stables, located in the heart of Rio Verde.
I decided to support my daughters’ dreams and we commuted to Arizona weekly for her to train with one of the top trainers in the industry. As I saw her dedication, talent, and determination transpire, spending 6-8 hours a day, watching her train hard & staying focused, I knew we would be doing this long term. As a mother, I realized I needed to be able to financially support this dream of hers. I could not let her talent be wasted & let her dreams be crushed.
