Oregon Region Board
Stephanie Oliveria (she/her)
Regional Supervisor
Stephanie grew up in a rural setting east of Sandy, OR near Mt. Hood. She was born a horse girl into a non-horsey family. After years of pleading for her very own horse her parents finally gave in; at 13 she was given a mare named Harvey. With hand-me-down tack, a dusty box of old grooming supplies, no lessons or instruction, no truck or trailer and miles and miles of wide-open space to ride, Stephanie started her life with horses. 30 years later, she hasn’t had a day without them since. Stephanie will tell you she rode and took care of her horses well enough, but after she joined Tuscawilla Pony Club in Gainesville, FL in ‘16 she finally rode with purpose and cared for her horses with confidence. In fact, she jokes that both she and her horse didn’t realize she had a right lead until Pony Club came into their life! Stephanie was a member of Iron Horse Pony Club Riding Center when she and her husband Seth moved back to Oregon. Most recently she became a member of Patton Valley where she has held the role of DC. Stephanie is currently a C2 EV and hopes to continue her certification journey and actively compete in Eventing on her sassy Welsh/TB mare, AURYN. When Stephanie is not actively riding or participating in Pony Club, she can be found caring for pediatric patients in the ICU at Providence St. Vincent hospital or having adventures with Seth and their two German shorthaired pointers, Bruno and Rocky on their farm in North Plains, OR.

Outside of horses, Anna manages an electron microscopy team in the semiconductor industry and likes to spend her time outdoors with her dog.
Kim Kenney (she/her)

Kim has been an adult member of Patton Valley since ‘20. She is the proud mother of Delaney, who at the age of 4 1/2, begged for riding lessons. Almost a decade later, the two of them haven’t looked back since! Together, they have two horses: a dark bay American Warmblood named Olive (aka Dirty Martini) and a chestnut Quarter Horse named Cherry (aka Shirley Temple).
