Linda Shantz
I’ve been fortunate enough to make a career out of caring for horses. As a teenager, it was assumed I’d pursue veterinary medicine, but instead I ran off to join the circus, opting for hands-on education in the Thoroughbred racing industry. I’ve been blessed with some incredible mentors who helped shape my skills and passion. For the past fifteen years, I’ve operated my own layup facility, covering all aspects of the racehorse life cycle: breeding, broodmare and foal management; breaking and training; rehabilitation; retraining and rehoming after retirement. In a brief attempt to behave like a sane person, I obtained a Bachelor of Science with a minor in Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals from the University of Guelph, and on the other side of my brain, I’m a professional equine artist. When I’m not at the barn or the easel, I’m working with my two off-track Thoroughbreds, with aspirations to event before I die.

It's up to you what size, medium, style, and so on, you use – there is no wrong.
