​Deborah Gannon, Owner & Trainer

Deborah Gannon's passion for horses began early, fueled by determination and a love for the sport. Growing up with limited opportunities to ride, she embraced every chance to learn, eventually working her way up as a dedicated student and equestrian. Though she paused her riding journey to raise her children, her daughter’s interest in horses reignited her own, and together they dove back into the equestrian world.  
 
In 2009, after moving back to Georgia from Wellington, Florida—where she trained with Grand Prix-level professionals—Deborah opened her first facility. Within months, demand led to rapid growth, requiring a move to a larger location in Alpharetta. By 2013, her thriving business expanded again to a spacious farm on Birmingham Road. In 2020, Deborah reached a pinnacle in her career by establishing her dream facility: a stunning 30-acre equestrian haven designed to provide the highest level of care, training, and amenities for riders and horses alike.
