Our Team
Crystal, Trail Riding Manager
Cystal rode some as a girl, but wasn’t around horses again until she was an adult. Crystal has had issues with anxiety and depression and something triggered her to remember how calm and confident she was on horseback. She has been taking lessons and is riding regularly now. Crystal prefers riding western but takes English lessons when she can, she is also taking some reining and roping lessons!
Her husband is a firefighter for the City of Atlanta, and their goal is for him to retire, move out west and run a small ranch where she can look out her window and see her horses every day.
She believes horses heal us, and she wants to always be surrounded by them. She is most confident and at peace on the back of a horse or in nature.
Monroe, Wrangler
If you’re staying at The Inn or booked through Guest Services you’ve probably seen or spoken to Monroe! Her love of people makes her a wonderful asset to any position but it is her love of animals that sets her apart.
Monroe has loved all animals since she was young. She never had any fear of any living creature that most people, especially girls, normally do. She is very gifted with her ability to read any animal and handle them with ease.
Monroe has taken a little time after graduating high school to make sure she knows what she wants to do and that is to become a Veterinarian! She is certainly getting tons of practice by working at Trail Riding and in the Animal Village at The Inn.
If you are in Serenbe you most likely will see Monroe at some point, so be sure to stop and say hi! She can’t wait to see you on the trails!
Addie, Wrangler
Addie has been riding horses her whole life. She is a senior in high school. Addie has 4 horses of her own and loves painted ponies as much as we do!
She is learning to barrel race and is training her horse Chance the pattern and is interested in pole bending as well. Addie oozes the western lifestyle!
Since starting at STR, Addie has started to come out of her shell a little bit, she is extremely shy but once she opens her mouth you are gonna listen and learn that she has an immense knowledge of horses and how to handle them. Addie is what we call a “natural”. The way horses respond to her is a thing of beauty and we are so blessed to have her on the team!
