Shanna Sachenbacher competed throughout the US on the AA show circuit in both jumper and equitation divisions, qualifying for shows and finals as a junior such as NEHC, CHJA, Zone 1 finals, and NAL Nationals (Ch/Adult jumpers). By 17 she was training horses, which quickly led to training riders as well.

Moving to Florida in 2003 to manage Wellington Show Stables Riding School , she also initiated, choreographed, and trained Drill Teams which preformed at the National Horse Show in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Opening Free Spirit Riding Academy in 2008, with riders competing in local shows, as well as WEF, and HITS, her riders have earned many top ribbons along the way.

Having retired the riding academy horses, she now travels to stables/communities in Palm Beach County such as: Palm Beach Point, Homeland, and Caloosa to work with horses and their riders.
