I’m excited to officially announce that Spencer Groth Performance Horses will be opening its doors on January 1!

Over the past 7 years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with the team at Show Horses by Shannon. I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge and experiences I've gained as well as the amazing horses and customers I’ve had the privilege to work with along the way.

The last couple of weeks have been busy, but I’m feeling refreshed and excited to get back to training, with horses moving into my new facility in just a few days!

Until then, I hope everyone has a very happy holiday season!
