equestrian,
animal lover,
Eros' mom
Alyssa's love affair with horses began at the tender age of four, and it was evident from the start. Her journey began at a therapeutic riding center, where she not only learned to jump but also discovered the profound impact horses can have in a therapeutic setting. There, she also explored Western riding and the unique experience of riding bridleless.
At 15, Alyssa found her heart horse, Kiowa. When Kiowa's health necessitated retirement, she acquired her first Off-Track Thoroughbred, Aspen. While she briefly pursued a career in veterinary medicine after graduating, the loss of Kiowa reignited her passion for horses, leading to the birth of Shadow Falls.
Driven by a deep desire to continually learn and grow, Alyssa dedicated herself to expanding her knowledge of various disciplines, including eventing and dressage. This commitment to lifelong learning continues to fuel her passion as a rider and trainer.
