Shannon Schraufnagel is the Founder & President of HTA| Horse Trails of America (Formally HTCAA) and the Editor-in-Chief of The Trail Journal. She grew up riding and showing horses in 4-H and open shows, as well as breed shows. When she started trail riding and camping with her best friend Jason, she fell in love with it - and her friend. They married in 2004. In 2012 she created a Facebook group for trail riders, just "for fun", which has now become the #1 Trail Riding Resource in the Country & the Largest Trail Riding Community in America! She loves her HTA Members, her husband, and all her critters. She enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and of course trail riding in God's creation. Shannon will tell you she is greatly blessed - and doesn't deserve an ounce of it.
