Shea’s Stables is a new natural equine facility in Lake City, Minnesota by Shea-Lynn Johnson offering training, lessons and boarding.

Shea-Lynn brings to the table a four year BS Degree in Equine Facility Management, which she ambitiously completed in just three years, from Lake Erie College in Ohio. This included her Facility Management Internship at Priestfield West Boarding and Training. She has studied several natural horsemanship trainers and natural horsemanship methods, has attained nearly 10 years of hands on experience on top of a lifelong interest and commitment to horses. To round out her experience she is a multiple time Region X Half Arabian Junior Western Pleasure Reserve Champion, a participant in the Canadian Nationals, is Parelli Level 1 certified and continues her education across many venues.

Shea-Lynn has started a number of Nokota® Horses for us including initial ground work, basic to trail specific desensitizing and development of a horse’s skill and handling across all gaits to foster a calm and willing attitude. Her honesty and commitment to Natural Horsemanship methods, her quiet and calm demeanor in her work is truly inspiring and delivers results. We look forward to being part of Shea-Lynn’s future.

Erika has done natural hoof care and barefoot trimming since 2003. She practices a style of hoof trimming based on the study of the hooves of wild free roaming Mustangs. We have found Erika to be meticulous and always very patient with the horses, always trying to understand them. Erika also is very willing to share her knowledge about hoof care.
