Shawna was an accomplished and successful equestrian rider, and followed her passion to events throughout the Western United States.

Not just content with the many horses she raised, trained and rode, she also paid loving attention to her family of dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and chickens. As we remember and celebrate what she meant to us, all of Shawna’s critters mourn her absence as well.
