About Us

Ray and Lisa Menz (Owners of Shado Oaks)

My husband and I moved to Ocala, FL 7 years ago.  I have had a passion for horses since I could say the word "horse."  I have showed and trained professionally 25 years in many disciplines, such as western pleasure, hunt seat, pleasure driving, sidesaddle, saddlesaat, and trail.  I also love to ride on the Greenway trails which I am blessed to have in my own back yard, with friends and my husband.  I love beautiful horses of all breeds and always love sharing and learning about our four-leged friends.  I enjoy my Paso Finos as well as Gypsy Vanner Horses.  Our farm is named after my beloved friend of 18 years - Shado Shannon, who passed away to Greener pastures in 2003.  "True friends leave hoofprints on your heart!!"
