2021 Annual Meeting SpeakersEcho Tapping - Charlotte CannonCharlotte Cannon Charlotte Cannon grew up in VA horse country showing hunters, foxhunting and riding TB racehorses. She was invited at 15yrs to move to Keswick to ride and show, a few years later moving to Middleburg continuing to ride and show, and finally in 1989 she moved to SC where she lives on her Fox Point Farm today.
In SC her horizons were broadened by western horses and natural horsemanship. With career highlights of 6 APHA World Championships, multiple wins at the Washington International Horse Show as well as being asked by Pat Parelli to develop a global natural horsemanship kids' program, she has excelled in all types of riding with many breeds. Today her focus is on developing riders and horses with her unique combination of skills both on the ground and in the saddle. Her 'Showing Naturally Demo Team' travels and inspires audiences into searching deeper and developing a deeper relationship to achieve higher goals. Her love of the TB horse has brought her back to her childhood, and she is an active advocate for the OTTB, publicly developing several recent OTTBS for the Retired Racehorse Project's $100,000 TB Makeover as one of their highlighted trainers. https://www.foxpointfarm.com Equine Dentist – Dr. Mike Cissell DVM, MS, DACVS-LADr. Mike Cissell, a Kentucky native, graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005.
