Joanna Wilburn Co-Owner of Rollingwoods Farm

          Joanna specializes with hunter and driving ponies located in Olive Branch, MS. As a farm, Rollingwoods Farm has bred/trained/owned either the National or Reserve National Welsh driving pony from 1991 to present. Moving from farm trainer for the ponies to training people to drive was a natural progression for Joanna as driving is a real passion for her. Joanna has competed in CDEs as a Navigator for several years, from Single Training Level to Advanced four-in-hand. Joanna loves beginners and children, as that is the chance to start a great foundation. Her heartfelt enjoyment of the equine brain mixed with her wit, enthusiasm, and practical advice will benefit drivers of any skill level.​   $100

Douglas Owens Founder of "The Douglas Way Horsemanship"

    Douglas is a lifelong horseman who has experience in almost every corner of the horse world from Rodeo, Ranch work, Trail guiding, Driving and English to Western, Liberty, Roman and Bridle-less. He’s brought his horsemanship to private barns, expos, and international settings. Participants leave not only with new tools but with a renewed sense of confidence, connection, and purpose.

    Mentoring is important to Douglas’ life and legacy. His mentees span all ages, disciplines, and backgrounds and he meets them where they are, without judgment or agenda. Douglas teaches people to believe in themselves by showing them how. He doesn’t hand out answers. He helps people learn how to find them on their own. Douglas is committed to building people who push back fear, rise above adversity and choose growth over comfort.

    At The Douglas Way Horsemanship, Douglas has created something rare: a space where people and horses are seen, supported, and challenged to become their best. His approach is clear, consistent, and deeply human. He blends athleticism with empathy, structure with softness, and technical skill with spiritual depth.    $100
