Sharon Underwood

Sharon Underwood's life has been shaped by faith, family, hard work, and a lifelong love of horses. From an early age, she developed a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which has remained the foundation of her life. Growing up on a farm, Sharon learned the value of dedication, responsibility, and perseverance. Working alongside her family instilled a strong work ethic that would guide her throughout her life. As a child, horses quickly became more than farm animals—they became a source of joy, adventure, and purpose. Sharon joined a local horse riding club and began competing in speed events such as barrel racing, pole bending, and other rodeo competitions. She spent three to four days each week training her horse while also traveling to horse shows, where she continued to improve her riding skills and build lasting friendships. After getting married and raising a family, Sharon passed her love of horses on to her children. As they grew, they became involved in rodeo and spent countless hours riding and learning alongside their mother. Sharon and her family welcomed friends and visitors to enjoy horseback riding, creating memories that centered around the horses she loved so much. As her children grew older and eventually moved away, Sharon began thinking about the next chapter of her life. She had always dreamed of retiring early so she could begin a second career centered around horses. That dream became reality when she started teaching horseback riding lessons, sharing both her knowledge and her passion with riders of all ages. Wild mustangs became part of Sharon’s passion in 2021 after adopting the first one for her sister’s birthday present. Determined to become the best horsewoman she could be, she invested in her own education by attending clinics, reading books, and studying respected trainers through online videos and educational resources. Throughout this journey, Sharon's faith deepened in a profound way. She experienced a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ and committed herself to truly seeking Him. Her growing faith transformed not only her life but also the way she viewed horses—as one of God's gifts that could bring healing, peace, and hope to others. Today, Sharon considers horses to be one of God's greatest tools for ministry and personal healing. She believes horses have been her own form of therapy for many years, helping her through life's challenges while drawing her closer to God. Through horseback riding lessons and meaningful interactions with horses, she strives to provide a safe place where people can experience confidence, healing, and encouragement. Sharon's mission extends beyond teaching people how to ride. She hopes that as individuals connect with horses, they will also discover a deeper connection with their Creator. She encourages others to read the Bible, learn what God says about His love for them, and seek Him through prayer. Sharon believes that faith requires action and that by trusting God, working diligently, and serving others, lives can be transformed. Through every season of life—from growing up on a farm, raising a family, competing in rodeo, and becoming a riding instructor—Sharon Underwood has remained committed to her faith, her family, and her calling. Her life is a testimony to how God can use ordinary experiences, extraordinary perseverance, and the unique bond between people and horses to inspire healing, hope, and purpose.
