Gianna has been involved in riding horses for nineteen years.  Starting from a simple pony ride on a horse named Possum, her love for horses has turned into a passionate career.  From hunter jumpers to western riding she has touched on almost every discipline in the equine industry.  She is a graduate of University of Kentucky where she received a bachelors degree in Equine Science and Management.  During her time in Kentucky, she rode for the UK Western Team where they rode in both Horsemanship and Reining classes.  During these years she traveled the United States with the riding team competing in both Semi-finals and the Nationals Finals in two out of her three years on the team.  She was a working student for, Bennie Sargent out of Sargent Quarter Horses in Paris, Kentucky. She has traveled with the Sargent team during their competitions at the Quarter Horse Congress.  Aside from the riding world, she also got a taste of the exciting Thoroughbred industry in both the racing and sales side.  She has worked for Eaton Sales and Checkmate Thoroughbreds traveling from California, New York and Kentucky.  Having such a passion for the equine world it is important to her to share her knowledge for those wanted to become involved.  Teaching students the correct riding and horse handling habits is important to her.  She has had 6+ years giving  private and group riding lessons in both English and Western disciplines.  She has also taught lessons at Central Kentucky Riding for Hope therapeutic riding center. She is the proud owner of two Quarter Horse mares, Jersey and Luna and a mini donkey, Banjo who keeps us all laughing every bit of time spent with him!
