Shawn Graham is the proud owner and operator of The Painted Pony Championship Rodeo. His passion for rodeo is what has kept this western tradition alive here in upstate New York. Shawn purchased The Painted Pony from longtime friend, Jack McQue back in the fall of 2001, and rebuilt the Longhorn Saloon that was completley lost in a fire. Shawn has worked tiredlessly to improve the grounds, covered the grandstands, and strives for great stock. Only to get bigger and better, The Painted Pony now has a traveling road show in full swing up and down the east coast. This truly is a dream come true for Shawn.
