Sharon Garner - Along with my husband Lynn, I am the owner of Garner Creek Farms. A former Attorney turned horsewoman, my primary roles are now breeding and training dressage horses. I purchased my first Hanoverian Stallion in 1997 and have been importing, breeding and competing Hanoverians ever since. I showed hunters from 1983 to 1994 and have competed two different horses through Prix St. Georges. I continue travels to the Hanoverian region in Germany for both buying and educational reasons. I have served on the Board of Directors of the American Hanoverian Society as well as the Breeding Technology Committee, and have recently been appointed a Learner Judge by the AHS. Garner Creek Farms has been host to the American Hanoverian Society Mare/Foal Inspections for more than four years. I have completed several breeding courses at Texas A & M as well as a week long intensive course at Colorado State University, and an Equine Breeding Management Course at Sul Ross State University. Contact Sharon at sharon@garnercreekfarms.com. |

He is an outstanding rider and he has started and trained many of our imported horses before they arrived here in the States. For the past 2 years he has been chosen by Landgestut Celle (Hanoverian State Stud) as the test rider for dressage for the 3 and 4 year old state stallions at the end of the 11 month testing at Adelheidorf and was the winner of the Federal Competitions of Professional Riders in 1992.
