Lesa Ellanson's Bio
| Staff - Meet the Ladies |
Lesa Ellanson is a lifelong devotee of the great outdoors. Married to Reverend Lowell Ellanson in 1982, I am the proud mother of four children. I manages New Hope Farms Equestrian Park, a renowned international equestrian facility in upstate New York. As a nationally certified riding instructor with the distinguished American Riding Instructors Association, I have managed the equestrian park and taught horsemanship classes for teens and adults since 2001. Beginning in 2008, I helped to facilitate therapeutic riding on behalf of the Treasures of Heaven summer retreat for special needs children and their families. My dedication and commitment to ethical horsemanship and animal welfare is clear as I am also the founder of New Eden Equestrian Academy, Inc., a not-for-profit educational, athletic and religious organization.
In addition to my many professional equestrian pursuits, I am also an avid outdoorswoman: an enthusiast of nature conservation, hunting, fishing and the shooting sports. I am licensed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in wildlife rescue. I am the founding member of the Family Firearms Association, an NRA certified pistol instructor, as well as a certified Range Safety Officer. In addition to riding instruction, I enjoy teaching firearm safety and field training in the shooting sports with exclusive sessions devoted to women and girls.
