From before her walking stages of life, Cheryl Lane-Caron has been riding purebred Arabians.    Her riding background began in 4-H and the dressage arena with Pamela Bruggeman focusing on balance seat.    She expanded her riding instruction to saddle seat with Sandi Kelly & Jody LaSalle and western under the direction of David Blendinger & Mike Marquez.   Her class “A” show ring accomplishments began in the early 80’s bringing in numerous Regional & Class “A” Championships in the following divisions:   halter, sidesaddle, hunter & western pleasure, show hack, english pleasure, park and native costume.

Primarily following the Arabian & Half Arabian circuit, as an amateur competitor she garnered numerous championships, blue ribbons & annual Year End High Point Awards throughout the Nation and New England.   In 2004 Cheryl received the esteemed NSH-NE 2004 Owner-Trained Championship.   This award is given to the high point team that has done all its work for the show year without hands-on participation of a professional trainer.   Additionally the USEF awarded this pair three titles for 2004;   Horse of the Year, Laced With Brogaant, Champion for Region 16 for both HA/AA Hunter Pleasure Open & ATR District 2 Champion NSH Hunter Pleasure Open.

In 2005 Cheryl marked the start of her professional career by establishing Cranberry Knoll Arabians & NSH.   A successful completion to the year, Cheryl earned numerous awards including the 2005 Purebred Sport Horse Champion at AHANE and 2005 HA Sport Horse Reserve Champion.

Cheryl has been a member and actively competing throughout New England with USEF, NSHR, NSH-NE, NEHC, SSHC, AHCC, RIAHA, AHAM, AHANE & NHAHA and formerly served as Vice President of the Arabian Horse Club of CT.   Currently Cheryl is on the Board of Directors for the National Show Horse New England as Treasurer and Membership Chairperson in addition to the author of the monthly segment, “Arabian Heads Up” of the Horseman’s Yankee Pedlar.

So if you're just learning to ride, getting back in the saddle after some time or looking for that fine polish to compete in Equine competitions and bring home that blue ribbon and tri-colored championship, Cheryl will get you there while having fun all the way!
