Meaghan Shea grew up on a horse at the Shea ranch. Her parents Pat and Theresa Shea had a passion for raising exceptional cow horses. Their stallion Peppy A Poco, purchased from the King Ranch in Texas, has been the cornerstone of the ranch’s original breeding program.  They used these horses on the ranch and showed them in reined cow horse and cutting events.  

Meaghan started showing at a young age in everything from jumping to trail, and then she found reining.  Spending her summers and weekends with reining trainers Bill and Kelli Campbell, she learned to ride and show reiners, competing successfully all over the northwest as a youth and non pro.  She won many non pro championships throughout Washington, Montana, Canada and Oklahoma.  From there she moved to Temecula, California to ride under the guidance of World Champion Donnie Bricker, learning how to train reining horses and compete at a higher level.  It was there she met Jarrod.
