Shannon Gorsky is thrilled to be a part of the Walker’s team. She grew up locally in Connecticut, riding, showing, and participating in IEA as both a rider and a member of the National Youth Board. She then went on to attend Stonehill College with a major in business management where she also competed and was a captain of their Varsity IHSA team. Since then, Shannon has continued training and riding in Connecticut as well as coaching IEA for the past few years where she has qualified multiple riders for national finals. She absolutely loves IEA and the team component that it brings to the sport. As a trainer, Shannon emphasizes the importance of creating confident riders through staying positive and building foundational skills. She also highlights the significance of building a partnership with your horse and taking care of our equine partners through good horsemanship and respect.
