Jennifer Enloe – Instructor
Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer Enloe and I am originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I moved to Colorado in August of 2023 and started working for Connections Through Horses in January 2024! I graduated with my Bachelors in Psychology in 2018. I have grown up around horses my entire life and began riding when I was 15. Then I started teaching lessons in 2015 at a residential summer camp in Louisiana! I then easily fell in love with teaching and kept holding onto it. Since then, I have wanted to find a way to incorporate my horseback riding lessons and my degree together, and I found PATH! I am currently completing my certification and look forward to becoming a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor by the end of 2024!
Shannon Barrows – Instructor
Hi I’m Shannon. I’ve enjoyed working with groups and individuals as a PATH instructor since 2015. I’ve worked with all different breeds of horses in different regions from Fort Worth to Glenwood Springs and it’s the volunteers and clients that keep me passionate. I believe in the PATH and CHA curriculum and keeping lessons safe and enjoyable for all. I look forward to bringing fun memories to all clients of different paths and walks of life at Connections Through Horses.
Alysson Lafferty – Instructor
Hi folks, I’m Aly! I am a certified therapeutic riding instructor in training and lesson instructor who began working with Connections Through Horses in fall of 2024. I grew up in Littleton, Colorado where I began riding and caring for my own horses at the age of 9. I’ve worked as a barn manager and lesson instructor, as well as in veterinary medicine and veterinary behavior education throughout the last 15 years. I have truly seen the profoundly positive impact the human-animal bond can have on people and animals alike. I believe in a holistic approach to horsemanship, and feel that horses can be as therapeutic on the ground as they are when being ridden. I absolutely love working with our students and learning from Jayme and the other stellar instructors at CTH and I can’t wait to continue this journey with all of you!
