While attending Virginia Tech, Shera focused on Equine studies. She also earner her personal training certification from the American Council of Exercise, with her primary focus being on rider conditioning.

In the early part of her riding career, Shera received numerous Equitation Hunt Seat ISHA Championships under the direction of noted judge Robin Wyman and later under Paige Dunn.

From her success in the Hunter ring, Shera expanded into Dressage, Jumpers, and Eventing. She has trained under the direction of accomplished FEI competitor Vanessa Swartz for Dressage, as well as several well known Jumper and Eventing East Coast Clinicians.

Shera began working with Thoroughbreds at a young age and, due to her calm methods of dealing with them off the track, has had amazing success. This success led to the creation of SAS Sport Horses, and has carried over to the training of young horses of all breeds, whether they are just starting out off the track, or are dealing with behavioral issues. Shera is an active competitor and coach for all levels of riders in Hunter/Jumper, Dressage and Eventing

Shera is currently under the dressage mentorship of Dressage Today Editor Hilary Moore.
