After leaving Illinois in 2002\, Cheryl worked in multiple areas of the horse industry finding her niche working as a horse midwife and prepping sales horses for world-renowned Claiborne Farm in Paris\, KY. \nIn 2009\, she returned to school to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work with a focus on equine-assisted therapy.
