Haley M. Johnson
Equine & Facility Services Director
855-500-7268 ext. 1
Haley was born with a natural love for horses. She started riding lessons when she was 8-years-old as a pony clubber in Columbia, Missouri. She gained an interest in the horse industry while growing up in Eagle, Idaho, which led her to pursue an agricultural degree at Utah State University.
Haley obtained a master's degree in Agricultural Extension and Education at USU. In 2018, she wrote a grant which helped fund Utah's first 4-H "horseless horse program" in Washington County, which she empirically evaluated in her research thesis, "A Case Study Comparing the Life Skills Development and Knowledge in Youth Participants of Horseless and Traditional Horse Programs in Utah."
Her bachelor's degree in Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences included an emphasis in Equine Science and Management. While obtaining her undergraduate degree, she enjoyed studying equine nutrition, anatomy, pathology, and health care as well as pasture management and horse business management. As part of her undergraduate internship, Haley began her career by organizing several successful horse extension-education clinics in Cache Valley. She has continued this interest in equestrian events by organizing a wide variety of clinics and horse shows at Scotsman Center since playing an instrumental role in its founding in 2017.
While Haley appreciates all equestrian disciplines, she is particularly a 3-day-eventing and dressage enthusiast. Haley and her Mountain Green-native husband, Tysen, met country swing dancing at Utah State. Their beautiful daughter, Shiloh, was also born with natural love for horses. Haley's non-horse interests include hiking, gardening, painting, and listening to podcasts.
