Shawn Crews International By Jeffrey Wintersteen
S
hawn Crews and the Egyptian Arabian have been synonymous for the last several decades. Recently, Jeffrey Wintersteen caught up with Shawn during a brief pause in her full schedule at her farm in Waco, Texas. Before we get into the new, give us a brief history of your beginning in the Arabian industry? Shawn: By a twist of fate when I was 17 years old, I ended up in Waco, Texas on the largest Arabian horse farm of its time, Bentwood Farm, where I fell head over heels in love with horses! Not only was my time at Bentwood about the best beginning education one could wish for on straight Egyptian horses, but it was there that I met David and Marion Gardner. Without a doubt, my life would be quite different today if David had not taken me under his wing so many years ago.
