EQUIJOURNEYS ADMINISTRATOR

A Social Worker

My name is Shannon McCullough, and I am the Administrator of EquiJourneys. I am a Texas-licensed Master's-level Social Worker (LMSW) and a professional horse trainer. For 12 years I have specialized in working with troubled teens, children and families dealing with issues of abuse, self-destructive behaviors, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, and with those in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. My experience as a therapist has been in schools, psychiatric hospitals, and community-based counseling programs.

A Horse Trainer

I have also pursued extensive and varied experience in horse training, breeding and showing for over 20 years. I train horses from beginning ground-level work through full training under saddle, and I have been teaching riding lessons intermittently since 1990. While I have experience in working with a wide variety of breeds, most of my work has been with Arabian horses. Any horse that is used in the EquiJourneys Program must undergo training by me or by someone supervised by me. My training approach has "natural horsemanship" as its basis, and no horse used by this Program is overworked or being abused or neglected in any way. For the majority of EquiJourneys Programs, I work out of Callegari Equestrian Technologies in Cypress, Texas. I am affiliated with the United States Equestrian Federation and the Arabian Horse Association. For more details on my experience, credentials, and background, please read MY JOURNEY page.

Please feel free contact me for further information and to check for availability of EquiJourneys Programs currently active, as not all Programs are available at all times due to demand, finances, scheduling and availability of resources.
