My
name is Deanna Lonsberry,
Born Dec/8/85, I reside part
time in Bonnyville Alberta,
situated approximately 2.5hrs NE of Alberta’s Capital-City Edmonton & in Lloydminster Sk during the school months. I am in my final year of university,
completing my Bachelor of Commerce Degree in 2010.
I have always been horse crazy since the day I was born. As
a youngster I took Lessons in both English and Western disciplines focusing mostly in western. Throughout my life I have been
very fortunate as to be exposed to top Horsemen all around the country. I was
an active member in a very strong Light horse 4-H club for 9 years… building skills that would take me down the line
and progress into a confident rider. I have taken many Clinics from skilled horsemen/women such as Colin Balan, Gary Cooper,
Dale Dodd, Max Hanson, Darrel Schmidt, J.P. Forget…… Just to name
a few. I have had the opportunity to train under Top Horsemen/women such as:
Jim Babcock, DVM Dr. Khris Crowe – Breeding intern 04’ Babcock Ranch, B.J. Ribero – Riding Intern 04’
Babcock Ranch, Jason Hanson, Max Hanson, Elvin Kopp (Both Horses & Dogs) & Gaugler’s QH’s/Colin Balan.
I have also had the pleasure of riding with a very talented
Non-Pro Mano Angers of Lacombe Ab, Whom I Purchased Miss Cody
Acre from. “Cody” is my superstar ….
I am also very fortunate to have had the opourtunity to spend the summer of
2008 working for Elvin & Jan Kopp. This experiance has been a fantastic one for both me and my animals (Horses &
Dogs). Thank you for having the paitents and believeing in me!
Each experience has left a lasting impression
on me, and helped me get a step closer towards my goal of raising, training, and showing top performance horses!! I hope that
I can one day be compared to on the same level as the people I have listed above. They are my mentor’s and guides into
the horse industry.
