SHANNON HICKS

Shannon started her riding career at the age of five and rode successfully as a junior and an amateur, competing in the A/O jumpers at all of the nation’s top events, including the North American Young Rider Championships. After her successful junior/amateur career, she turned her passion for competing towards coaching others to reach those heights and beyond! For over 25 years, Shannon has developed both horses and riders to successfully compete at the most prestigious horse shows in the country, including USHJA Hunter Derby Finals, Devon, Pennsylvania National, Washington International, The National Horse Show, Junior Hunter Finals, and Pony Finals. She offers coaching for clients interested in competing locally or nationwide, and her training package develops her athletes and their equine partners in a one-on-one system in order to get the most out of horse and rider. Shannon is the only professional in the St. Louis area who actively competes at the Grand Prix level, and she regularly shows in National and International Derbies. Whether you have a hunter or a jumper, Shannon has a proven track record of helping clients achieve their goals!
