After years of training alongside Sharrone, she is now our head trainer and loves working with our equestrians at any level. Heather has also gained her mothers’ gift of pairing horse and rider to create a successful and competitive team. She also prides herself in a clean, safe facility to provide the best care for both the horse and rider. Heather’s dedication to Hedge and Turf and the horses is what makes her such a vital asset to our team!
