Sharon Bryant started riding at age 7.  From the first time she sat in a saddle she knew she was born to ride.  There are few thrills in life that can compare  to the feel of 1200 pounds of pure torque moving underneath you.  To be able to trust this animal and have him trust you is an experience few can understand.  It takes nothing short of grit, guts and unrelenting determination to share your life with horses.  For every extreme heart pounding moment of excitement there is an equally tragic moment of overwhelming sadness.  That's just the way it is when you love horses.

After riding, training, teaching and competing into her late 20's Ms. Bryant took a break from horses to get married, raise a family and launch a career.  But the horses were never far from her heart.  She started her daughter in riding lessons and the passion was reignited.. Soon she began eventing where she discovered her love for dressage.  She continued to train at high levels across the South before buying a horse property in Montana. After teaching,training and breeding Quarter horses she re-located to the Kansas city metro to retire. She bought the Albee Farm in St Joseph to house her own horses and teach a few lessons.  A few lessons turned into another full time career until her horses began to age out of their ability to enter the show ring.  In less than 4 years she lost 3 horses.  As she looked for replacements she realized that at her age, riding no longer carried the importance it once did.  With the help of a small staff of volunteers she began taking in older horses and learned that with a nurturing environment and a lot of patience these horses can once again find purpose.  They may not put ribbons on your walls but they can put  love in your heart.
