When I first came to Dragonwood I started riding with Barb, after awhile she thought I was ready to start learning from Shannon. At first I thought I didn’t want to because I thought Shannon taught “showy” stuff but after the first lesson I realized that she teachs you how to [...]
“Oh my, God, he’s HUGE!!!” gasped my 29 year-old son at his first sight of my recently acquired rescue horse, Reddy. In October of 2007, based on a photo of a good-looking horse with a kind eye, I adopted a 15-to-17 year old gelding of unknown origins. It is a gross understatement to say that this [...]
Buck came into Springwood Ranch camp like a pro. I unloaded him amongst all the new horses and proceeded to try him on the high-line right away. Just as long as there was more of that fancy hay that mom brings along on a trip, he could care less about walking in circles. [...]
Shannon King has a way with horses. In my case, she had a way with a 5-year old rescue horse that had become relentlessly challenging, pushy, biting, bracing, squirmy, defensive, unmotivated, and spoiled. Very social, his games for attention were endless, yet it was clear he wasn’t mean. Where other trainers gave up waiting for [...]
Our involvement with Shannon King, her training philosophies and practices started after extensive searches and interviews with other trainers, not only in Washington, but nationally. We were searching for a unique combination of talents. We were in search of a person who could assist us with training our two horses with a particular philosophical approach but [...]
I have a great story to tell about how far my horse, Nicki, and I have come over the last year. In the 3 years I have owned him, nothing has changed the relationship more than our 90 days training with Shannon for the horse and human. It all started when my Dad got me [...]

Get down on all fours. Now close your eyes and imagine someone is sitting on your back in a tree’d saddle. All the weight is distributed along those areas of the tree that actually sit against your back. Depending on the shape of your back, there may be gaps in that weight dispersal. Now imagine [...]

AB – The first and most important part is the MALAR BONE (cheek bone) of the horse. You will need to measure from bone to bone on either side of the horses face. BC – From one side of the horse’s face, measure from the end point of the MALAR BONE, and then [...]

Dam “Rajiah” & Sire “Cooper” Sadly, but at the same time, excitedly…all the puppies from the last litter found great homes! Each and every puppy seemed to find an immediate connection with their new human and off they went to find a great new path! Looking forward to hearing updates and getting photos of the [...]
We hope you enjoyed EquiFest with us this year! Many equine professionals came and shared their expertise in various forms of equine massage, reiki, environmental equine facility management, trimming and shoeing principles and many other fields. We learned a lot and hope you did, too!
As much as we all would love to just tune out and relax while we spend time with our horses, it’s important for us to learn to develop consistent rituals or habits in every thing that we do with each horse. Horses live by instinct, and by habit, the patterns of their every day [...]
