I ride and write.

“The desert has always moved me.  The wide-open spaces, the secret places, the animals and plants who thrive in this environment – sometimes against the odds.  It speaks to a tenacity we could all do to have more of.” 

An equestrian, native Texan, and writer, Shannon spends her time building a homestead in west Texas and traveling the American Southwest as a woman on her own with horse and dog.  

Shannon serves as Texas Ambassador for Horse Trails of America and is a member of Friends of Big Bend Ranch State Park.

​

Her recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine article, Back in the Saddle, won both 2nd place in the 2023 American Horse Publications Media Awards and 1st place with Outdoor Writer's Association of America 2024 media awards.

​

She is currently working on a book which journals her horse travels around Texas and is available for freelancing opportunities.

​

Her hope is to connect and inspire others to have the confidence to believe in themselves and connect through nature.
