Though Shaunna’s professional Eventing career as a competitor eventually gave way to her university education and a family business centered around training and teaching, she retains a vast appreciation, passion, and enthusiasm for the sport of Eventing and instructing those who wish to compete as she once did. Her accomplishments within the Eventing world are many, including the training of many horses at upper levels during her time as a working student.

She has also ridden up to fourth-level Dressage in various schooling shows, with highly placed scores of primarily 68+.
