Assistant Trainer

Wrenn Shrewsbury has been active in the horse world since age 7. While studying business management at Longwood University’s School of Business, she lived off campus and commuted an hour almost every day in order to prioritize her horses’ care. She hopes to inspire this kind of dedication in other riders. To her, health and safety of horse and rider always come first, and a solid foundation of riding and horse care knowledge is paramount for establishing a connection with one’s horse—a connection she believes should be strengthened through continuous education. Since horses can sense a rider’s emotions, confidence and positivity represent core tenets of Wrenn’s teaching. Skilled in Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle, and Hunter/Jumper, Wrenn has experience showing in AQHA, APHA, and Thoroughbred Incentive Program shows.
