Shannon Dickey - Empower U Equine
SHANNON DICKEY
EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING FACILITATOR

Helping people has always been a priority for Shannon, and she couldn’t think of a better way to do that than through partnering people with horses. Horses have been a part of her life since before she can remember, and have gotten her through some of the toughest obstacles in her journey. Growing up the daughter of a racehorse trainer, she knew very early on horses were her passion, but never dreamt she would be able to live her dream of building a career with them. 

After graduating from the University of Manitoba with a degree in Agriculture, Shannon made the move from Manitoba to Saskatchewan where she calls home today. Shannon is working towards her diploma in Equine Sciences from the University of Guelph, as well as her mentorship with the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association to become a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor. She is an Equestrian Canada Certified Instructor, a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, and Certified Equi-Health Canada First Aid Instructor.
