Callie Scissom
Trainer
Callie took her first lesson at 7 years old and hasn’t looked back since. She has an Eventing background and was a working student for Denise Rath at Grey Fox Farms for one year where she learned a great deal about bringing along young horses. She broadened her knowledge base as Assistant Trainer under Gina Pletch who placed an emphasis on the Biomechanics of riding. Callie has also started and brought along her Mustang, Sal, with the coaching of Nadia Heffner.
Emma DiSanti Reed
Trainer
Emma did not grow up in a horse oriented family; she stumbled into the world when visiting a local Forest Preserve farm. She started volunteering at that same farm and fell hopelessly victim to the horse craze. She started her journey under the guidance of eventing trainer Matt Trynoski. Under Matt’s training, she learned about gentling and starting mustangs.
Emma obtained her BS in Equine Business Management and Equine Training and Instruction from The University of Findlay. At Findlay, she studied under some of the AQHA greats: Art O’Brien, Cindy Morehead, Steve Brown, Clark Bradley, and Meri Sheffler Marsh.
After college, Emma worked as an assistant trainer under Tina Judge Boyle of Judgement Farms for seven years. Emma also Pro-Rode for Susan Kovalik of Camelot Farms.
Emma loves starting young horses with a solid foundation and teaching the horse about self carriage, balance, and confidence. She enjoys teaching the rider about the biomechanics; she is passionate about teaching her students to understand how to work with different conformational downfalls and how to effectively overcome them.
Devin Zelenika
Barn Manager
From the moment she watched Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron at just six years old, Devin fell in love with horses. Since then, she has spent countless hours riding at various barns and caring for horses in every way possible. Devin has experience in both Western and English disciplines, and she has competed in each with dedication and skill.
Beyond the barn, Devin served as the Director of Operations for a local county shelter, where she oversaw staff and animals alike to ensure the highest standard of care. She is currently pursuing a degree in Public Safety Administration and takes great pride in her leadership abilities.
Still, no matter where life takes her, Devin always finds her way back to the barn—where her passion for horses continues to thrive.
Makenzie Blohm
Crew
Makenzie has been around horses her entire life. Her passion began with her grandmother, who introduced her to horses at a young age and ultimately sparked her lifelong love for them. She began taking riding lessons and showing horses around the age of 10, leasing a variety of mounts and competing in all-around events ranging from barrel racing to jumping to western pleasure. Makenzie was also a dedicated 10-year Horse and Pony member at the Porter County Fairgrounds.
Fulfilling her childhood dream, Makenzie purchased her own horse when she turned 18—a mare named Kitty, whom she has owned for five years and considers her best friend. Together, they compete across the state at venues such as the Midwest Saddle Club in Valparaiso and the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Rensselaer, though their favorite destination remains the ranch horse shows in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
Grateful for a life surrounded by horses, Makenzie deeply values the bond she shares with these remarkable animals. She considers being part of their world—one filled with strength, kindness, and spirit—an irreplaceable privilege she will never take for granted.
