Stevee Keller is from Boise, Idaho and has been riding horses for a good 15 years. She has been teaching for 8 years and loves to teach. She has a passion to see her students grow with horses as well as grow within themselves. She has many accomplishments as a rider in the show world in many different disciplines. She began riding in pony club where her love of jumping fell into place. She competed all the way up until her B3 rating. She broke off from pony club and found a trainer who took her under his wing and she excelled very fast. At age 12, she was jumping six foot fences traveling all over the northwest competing. As finances forced her to slow down in jumping she began a few different paths. She entered in the Miss Teen Rodeo Idaho contest, which she won.

Apprenticed with Natural Balance farrier and natural hoof care specialist Marylynne Nicholson for two years before branching out on my own full time in 2009. I don't consider myself anti-horseshoe, but I look at the issue this way: If a horse needs a metal splint fixed to his feet to be sound, there's something wrong with his feet. My goal is to fix hoof pathology through appropriate trimming, nutrition and lifestyle. Many of my clients come to me because they have tried conventional treatments without success. I find it so rewarding to help these horses. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with these amazing animals! - stronghoof@gmail.com |

Bella Oaks is a little piece of heaven, as I remember from my childhood. I was raised with horses. My father raised and raced Quarter Horses. We had them in Show, Cutting, and Reining. He had a breeding ranch with fifty broodmares. We rode across the hills after school, through ponds for hours up and through Wild Cat Canyon. These were wonderful times and great memories. |
