FACILITATORS 
Shelby Soucy
Certifed EAL Facilitator  

Shelby's whole life has revolved around her horses. From Gymkhanas as a little girl, to the western pleasure show world, to currently running barrels and competing at local jackpots to qualify for finals in Alberta and different parts of B.C. Shelby has always loved working with kids. When Sam offered her the opportunity to be an Assistant Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator in January of 2019 she jumped all over. It wasn't long after that Shelby knew that this was a job for her, a way to combine her passion for horses and love of helping kids and people she became a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator in June. When Exceptional Equine isn't running EAL programs you can find Shelby out in the arena helping with the retraining of our horses and running riding lessons.
