Donna D. Jones has been in the horse industry for over 18 years. She has owned and managed three equine facilities in the Lowcountry. She has shown Registered Quarter Horses and Paints. Five of those years she pursued an interest in breeding Skipper W line-bred stock. Donna's APHA registered stallion "Easy Print", better known as "Sparky", produced eight quality foals. Her Skipper W line-bred AQHA mare "Skips Shy Chita" has produced three foals with the most recent one "Dual's Chitalena" being of superior quality. Her experience showing in Halter, Western Pleasure, and English Pleasure, and a love of educating new horse owners led her to many years of training and teaching. She has taught clinics, summer camps, 4-H, Girl Scout badge classes, and Graymour Pony Club. Donna is currently enjoying "just being a barn manager" of Graymour-Bediko Stables, but will of course pitch in to teach and train when needed.
