My name is Janelle Shively and I have been riding horses since I was 2 1/2. I started riding with my mom on her horse. I got my first pony for my 3rd birthday, a black shetland. I out grew my pony and got a horse when I was 9 years old. Her name is Sis, we have learned a lot together over the past 6 years. Sis and I are in the picture above during a 4H show.

I am an apprentice under my grandpa, he is a John & Josh Lyons Certified trainer. I was given a 6 year old Arabian, I named her Faith and she is not trained. I am learning how to train with my grandpa. Let me tell you it is not as easy as it looks you have to really work hard. Grandpa gives me an exercise to work on with Faith, and as I work at it, he watches me to help me if I need it.
