Lark
René Henry -
Manager/Trainer & Show Team Instructor
Lark
René Henry, daughter of Woodrow and Louise Henry, is hard
at work as the manager of Bobbin Hollow. In addition, she
is a horse trainer and riding instructor for the Bobbin Hollow
Show Team.
Lark's
schooling is nothing but impressive. When she was just 10-years
old, she had an opportunity to ride with Mr. Frank Bradshaw
at his farm in Kentucky. During this time, she rode Another
Angel, a powerful horse that trumped the show circuit in those
days. Lark continued her development through the years by
closely working under the direction of her aunt, Marsha Shepard,
who helped her master the art of equitation; mother, who instilled
teaching with patience; and father, whom has taught and is
teaching her the most important gifts to become a top trainer.
She recently received the 2006 People's Choice Equitation
Instructor of the Year award.
At the helm of Bobbin Hollow, Lark works one-on-one with students
in and out of the ring and advises them with their showing
career. Lark herself continues to compete on the national
and world level, and enjoys sharing her wealth of experience
with new equestrian lovers. |
