THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE COMPANY
Dee Dempsey
Founder and Lifelong Horse Enthusiast
Dee has immersed herself in the world of horses. What started as lessons soon became a way of life. Growing up with three horses of her own, Dee spent endless hours at the farm, tending to their needs, honing her skills, and nurturing her love for these magnificent creatures. Her journey led her to pursue training in the hunter/jumper world and later introduced her to the art of dressage and Eventing. Dee has been blessed enough to ride, train, breed, and show Lipizzaners. Dee's deep-rooted passion and unwavering dedication to equine welfare and work with all breeds at all phases of life, including top show horses, to rescued and traumatized horses form the foundation of Phoenix Horse Transport.
