Shadow Hills Ranch
"To teach without passion is to demonstrate, to teach with passion is to educate"
If there is any phrase to describe both Sean and Hellena, it would be "eagerness to assist". Aside from operating Shadow Hills Ranch, Sean serves the community as a Firefighter/Paramedic and Hellena aids the voiceless through working as a Veterinary Technician. The same drive and eagerness to assist others can be easily seen in every aspect of the ranch, and what better way to assist than to teach! This segment of the website is dedicated to education and advice to further progress your equine journey and knowledge!
