Melanie Kessler Folmer is our lead trainer at West Stables. Melanie has been riding and rodeoing her entire life, specializing in barrel racing. Most recently Melanie has been raising two wonderful daughters, Celee and Bailey, and guiding them to compete at the college level.
Bekah Shepherd is 17 years old. Her love for horses and animals is through the roof, no words can explain it! She has been riding horses since she was 6. Bekah has trained her own horse Hercules that is used to barrel race and teach lessons at West Stables. She has also had experience training other horses. Barrel racing has been her passion for as long as she can remember. Riding horses can be good therapy for the mind and heart! This is why she puts so much love and care into the animals and lessons she teaches!
