Shea Conner & Cooper


"My name is Shea Conner and this is my soon to be 21 year old horse Cooper, Coop for short.

Some of Cooper's favorite things are oatmeal cream pies, Purina horse treats, alfalfa, and kisses on the nose from me.

I've owned Cooper since he was 10 years old and have breakaway roped off of him for the last 9 years. I truly believe he is, what one would call, my "once in a lifetime horse."

Cooper is super quirky and is scared of his own shadow half the time, but through all the quirks, he has taken me so far in my roping career and has forced me to become a

better rider and horsewoman.

Coop is enjoying his Winter break getting fat and sassy and watching his 5 year old friend get rode everyday, while he sits back and doesn't have to work, but still gets all the cookies.

Talk about living the life!"
